Fun with vintage clasps

[Cicadalady]

In a weak moment I put a fairly low bid in on eBay for a pair of vintage fold-over clasps. They're 14K with blue and pink stones. I won them! So what to do with them? I really liked the circled peacock Tahitians I purchased from Jac, so I ordered a few more. I re-strung my 28" strand with violet Beader's Secret and attached jump rings to the ends. Then I did the same thing to the new strand (came out to about 20"). Here are the clasps:

And here are some of the ways I put the strands together:




There are more combinations, but you get the idea. Such fun!!!!

Sweet! Especially the last arrangement.

How gorgeous! Fab clasps!! Bet the gems in them are pink and blue sapphires. Sure looks pretty against the pink shirt.

Love the clasps and your pearls are stunning!!!

Ooooo, yes. I love a good clasp! And you got two. They look fabulous with the pearls and the purple knots. I like the last styling a lot, too.

I love the clasps, and the clasps and pearls together!

I love them! Very lovely way to combine two strings and they go so well with the colours of the pearls.

OMGosh, I love, love, love them!!! That purple really brings out the colors on the Tahitians, too! What a great combo!!!
