About this design:
I'm not really sure what inspired this design, it just sort of happened as I went along. It's for sale in my collection on my website, and I actually wore the necklace to church today. The feedback was awesome on this design. The clasp in the front adds so much to this design. Hope this gives you fabulous designers some new ideas!
Components:
Scroll link chain, linking wire, freshwater pearls, flower toggle clasp, split rings, toggle clasp for bracelet and earwires for earrings.Read the comments (or add your own)

Steph says:Very beautiful, nice job. I’ve always liked the clasp in front look especialy when you find a unique clasp. Why always wear it in the back, why not show it off also. Into my fav’s it goes.

Great bracelet and earring, too — hope there is a second one. LOL
