My work is offered as necklace/earring sets (demi-parure). If you don't wear earrings, the earring pairs make lovely gifts.
I work with artisan and other beautifully designed toggles and clasps. Helpful hint: Practice hooking and unhooking the clasp; visualize this while doing so without looking.
Please take care to avoid knocking or dropping beads against hard surfaces. Many beads I use (glass, ceramic, etc.) are breakable.
Bead descriptions are based on bead vendor information and the best of my knowledge.
Colors viewed may differ from actual colors due to device variances.
Packed in a gift-ready window-lidded tin (anti-tarnish tab enclosed).
