Sarah of The Beaded Lily on Etsy, using one of my focal beads has created this beautiful asymmetrical necklace. Paired with accentuating blue agate, rainbow moonstones, and Egyptian silver beads. Finished off with Egyptian silver spacers, seed beads, color-lined cubes, and hand formed sterling silver hook clasp.

She has aptly named this beautiful piece “Sky” which I think is very fitting. Be sure and check out this piece as well as the rest of the work in her Etsy store.

If you are a necklace maker and are always striving to make your necklaces stand out from the rest. How about using a glass toggle? I am pretty sure that would do the trick nicely. Each one, like any handmade glass piece is one of kind, making them and the necklace they are used in even more unique. They work like any other metal toggle, but these should really be used in the front of the necklace as the focal point of the piece. If you prefer however, they can be used at the back of the neck as well. But really, who would want to hide such a fabulous and unique piece of the necklace!

Expect lots more of these, in a large array of colors and styles in my Etsy store soon! If you have any color combos you would like to see for sale, be sure and post a comment.
