Hi Caitlyn,

I like the Idea of the clasp mechanisnm being set into the pearl itself, Mu mama, has some Akoya( I will have to ask her to be sure) that have the clasp done this way. She has arthritis in her hands so bad she can not handle the normal variety of clasps.. but this one she can I think its a great Idea.. besides I have borrowed her perls and my 3 year old neiice thinks itis magic how the pearls work, "and they just stay arround your neck??? Auntie Ashby wow teach me the magic....."

This concludes youer Ashby Babble on this thread we now return you to your regularly scheduled posters...



Cheers

Ash
