Focal Clasp

I love when a beautifully designed clasp can be the focal point of a simple bracelet.  I showed you this last week, antique brass with jetab2x.  Friends were immediately enamored and wanting to make their own.

Here is Susan's, crystal copper pearls with rose gold crystals and a crystal copper clasp.  Since the clasp had not yet arrived, it was left for me to finish up as soon as the clasp was on the doorstep.  This meant I got to wear it before giving it up.  What I discovered is clasping the two together end to end and therefore being able to wrap four times around the wrist makes a really substantial bracelet!  These two were close enough in tone to look good together, but I can think of ether combinations.  Of course looking at it in a photo means I will be sourcing some copper headpins and re-wrapping these….Sometimes you can't just make do with what you have.

Oh the clasp, Ezel Findings.  Always a well thought out design and perfect finish for your beadwork.
