Progression of the pearls....

So my pearls have arrived and have been strung. I have forged the two elements that go with the two pearl bracelets and I am now working on a way to make them into a clasp. The problem with this is that it needs to combine my aesthetic desires and also have a function.
So today at college myself and the tech dem Bron had a look at what the possibilities were. This is what we have come up with. This is just a rough sample and is made from brass. I will make the real thing with steel wire and attach with small silver jump rings! I am excited to up finish these and show the pieces off!
