Turquoise Fun

Turquoise Jasper, Swarovski Crystals and Black Onyx, coupled with silver plated oval chain and silver bead wire today. I absolutely love the color combination. The turquoise is a great color for both summer and winter collections. Of course silver can be used anytime of year. The crystal little beads just add the sparkle I want without taking away from the turquoise jasper. The black onyx adds the drama I was looking for so I can go from day to night depending on what I want to wear.

Currently the chain is 23" long however  I am debating making it a bit shorter as that is what I prefer.  Either way is good, it just depends on your own personal preference.  I tend to go shorter as I have a larger chest and I don't like to make that my focus or anybody else's for that matter.  LOL.

I have used a toggle clasp.  I personally prefer using these instead of a lobster claw or any other clasp.  Why?  Because I find they are easier with my arthritus.  I find they provide the security of not coming undone yet easier to manage when you hands and fingers are stiff.    In saying that, I do have bracelets that I sell where I have used the lobster clasp.

This item can be purchase on my Etsy account.
