red and black necklace


ive finished another necklace during this rain and wind. this one is made of african horn beads, wooden beads, gunmetal aged chain, and handmade clasps.

the slightly asymmetrical style of this fairly simple necklace is really eye catching, because it is nearly symmetrical.

the clasp was made from two pieces of 19 ga steel wire, formed to the size desired and then hammered. the trick really is to only allow as much of a gap in the 'hook' half to allow the 'eye' to slide in while flat.
