Necklace for K what do you think???

Ok sod it i know she will read this before friday but decided so what...K asked me if i could make her a necklace and earring set for this coming weekend...It's some SYP meeting thingy and they have to be poshed up...And she wants to be a walking advert ROFL...So below is what i have made...The necklace took around an hour to make...Well it actually took longer as i was doing it on my lap here whilst online and had K in im's on MSN...Plus i had a break to phone younger sis...And my shoulder ached like hell whilst doing it which am paying for today as it's swollen up again <sigh>...Am fed up to the back teeth of this flaming shoulder...It is all sterling silver with the sapphire swarovski crystals...The sterling silver chain is very pretty, rather expensive and very very fine...And it has been falling out of the loop that attaches the beads to it...But hey i've bought in shops where the chain is so fine it does that and i went over all the loop bits again to try and make sure they weren't open...I also used same chain to add on a lengthening chain with a crystal on the end...The silver beads are 3mm in size and the crystals 4mm...She doesn't want a bracelet but i will make one up as well once i get approval for the design...The necklace is approx 18 inches long....I don't know about the rest of you ladies but i find that 16 inch is rather short or about chokes you...And 16 inch is the norm although 18 inch is creeping in more and more as a norm...What annoys me is the background was WHITE paper...And i had it lit from several angles and still showing as grey grrrr...Also i did take a pic of the set on mirror...Stupid stupid idea LOL...Because of reflections from the roof etc...Mind you using the mirror to display them when on a stall will look pretty...Especially with the silver netting underneath on top of a coloured cloth...I did play around with same length of crystals with just a length of chain hanging as well but i think the shorter bit of chain with less crystals hanging from end looks much better...IF this one does get approval then it will be called 'Kerry' <g> And of course it doesn't have to be the sapphire blue crystals you can have it in other colours
