I got a little quiver when I saw the pendant with labradorite. Very pretty.

Morna: The treatment securing the clasp, all that wire wrapped so securely and randomly is an Eni Oken thing. Such style!

What I think, is I want to see a close up of a lampworked section and the clasp! Teasing us with one big photo will only make us want more!

Thanks everyone for your generous feedback about my work. I've found a closer-up photo which I'll post later; sorry I don't have time at the moment. Actually, those lampwork beads kind of spook me - I think they look like wee aliens! I see what's confusing about the back of the necklace, where it tails off to the clasp. It's not wirework though, it's Hilltribe liquid silver (don't know why it's called that - seems to be a standard in the jewellery world.) It's just tiny slithers of fine silver, strung in a row.

I'm so very lucky to have a job that I love so much; thanks again folks, for your feedback.
