Hmmmmmmm, what is that word I’m looking for? Oh, yes — gorgeous!!!!!! Love this, Christine! Great job of picking up the shades in the gorgeous pendant, too! BTW, wherever did you find such a gorgeous pendant?!?!?! Where is my thesaurus? I can’t seem to get the word “gorgeous” out of my mind when I look at this…….

I just noticed that 3 out of 4 beaders so far have rated this piece as “GORGEOUS”. LOL

CAS says:

Lynn, it does seem to be a very popular adjective around here, doesn’t it.

I, and please forgive me Kevin, got it on ebay at auction, the seller goes by Waly-bead.

Sue, I’ve not sold anything yet, only given things away as gifts, but if you’d like to be my first …

Fantastic job CAS!!!!!

CAS says:

Lynn, it’s a simple toggle clasp in brass.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:

Thanks! I figured it would be fairly simple so it wouldn’t detract from the GORGEOUS pendant. LOL

I’ve added a close up of the pendant to better show the coloring.
