I was sent the following necklace made of blue topaz chips, puffed glass faceted discs and this super glass heart.
I was undecided about what to add to the heart, so I took the following pictures to try and help me out.
I hope I did justice to the original necklace. I kept the blue topaz chips, the heart, and the original hook and eye clasp and added the blue rounds from the first picture above and the memory wire from the third picture above.
I added a memory wire circle around the heart with the blue rounds. I also added blue round links of 3-5 beads in the necklace itself to replace the puffed disks that I took out.

Great job with your redesign - I love this color blue and hearts, and the combination with the memory wire circle is perfect. Beautiful job! :)
ReplyDeleteThe beaded circle around the heart is exactly what this necklace need to make that light colored glass a focal point. Great job!
