seashellsally says:Nicely designed.
The play of the chunky pieces against the open work of the chain keeps the piece light. The eye travels down to the “y” keeping the symmetry and lengthening the overall design.

Dangles Designs says:Ah, lots of detail, yet still simple. Great job with this piece. I recently started incorporation sterling chain in my pieces. They seem to sell a lot quicker and it not hard to use at all. Thanks for sharing.
