    I love it/them too Dennis. A very modern take on filigree!!

    My only question, (since I know you love questions!!), why triangular wire for the hook? I'm rather a fan of triangular wire at the moment, particularly for drops in earrings, it was used a huge amount in Victorian pieces, but I wondered how it sits in the link it fastens to?

    Beautiful!!!!

    Regards
    Jill

    Yep, I am especially covetous of those earrings. Lovely.

    It's my preferred profile for the hook as it lends itself to elegant shaping. It's been link tested for width and Ive never had one come undone in use. I am wary of circular hooks though, which I think look even better than oval ones, but might well rotate out.

    Thanks again, Dennis.

    It must be great to be able to make jewellery purely for pleasure and not for profit. One day that's what I hope to do.

    Beautiful, Dennis!

    I really like the way the clasp has a matching stone set into it - it really finishes off the necklace. I have so many clasp designs in my head that I want to try out, but I always end up running out of time and just sticking a caribiner on the end!

    Yes, but as I have found out, you have to sell it, cos you can't wear it all.
