CAS says:This is so “larger than life”! A truly BOLD BOLD design, certainly not for the “faint of heart”! I have the same big CHUNKY Coral pieces, and I used just two (Love Of Country necklace) so far, but if I were to use them all at once this is the way I’d go too! They don’t seem at all overwhelmed or overwhelming in your necklace, the Sterling Silver is perfection with it!

Purple Chick aka Violet says:Love this necklace!!!!! I have always been a fan of coral, and this is awesome.
You said the winner got a deal, I say they got a steal!!! They are very lucky to get it for that price. Very nice work.

seashellsally says:Beautifully designed.
CAS and Violet have said it well.
I would add that you have shown how to incorporate silver with red. Red does not necessarily dictate the use of warm metals nor the use of warm tones in combination. Well done!

Dangles Designs says:@Chicky D, sterling flakes found at local shop in Atlanta called Organic Stones. I saw them in a magazine, searched for them online for almost 2 hours, walked into my favorite store and she had them! Lol…what a day it was, I was determined to find them.

Dangles Designs says:@Milli…thanks for the comp!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Stunning set! Love the silver flakes — had never seen them before! The red/silver combo is beautiful!
The person who got this was one lucky winner!!!

Dangles Designs says:@Lynn…you’re right, but I always try to make a show stopper for auctions. You never know who the piece will end up with.

@Cuban Queen, all my girlfriends have outstanding lay-a-way bills, lol. I actually donated this one to an auction, silly me!
