Crystal Canary says:Beady, I just love the dangling flower buds in this design, and the same coordinating colors of your last posting. This would be so special for Mother & Daughter also!

Melody F says:I like that you combine gold and silver. Mixed metals are great, and can go with jewelry someone wears every day, like wedding rings, and watches. My new watch is black dial solar, plated rose gold, with a black patent leather band. (Christmas present from my guy.) Now I’m looking at rose gold findings, and they are pretty scarce.

Beady Little Eyes says:Thanks for your comments. Yes Crystal – I think it would be great for mon/daughter also.
Melody – Your watch sounds beautiful – I love black watches. Oh – and I found the packet that my magnetic clasp was in. Beadholique.
