I really enjoy making these pieces and I hope to make more.

They are rather labor intensive to make, because I fabricate each chain by hand.

Not to mention that each crystal needs to be drilled by hand and have its' bezel specially fabricated and designed to fit around each crystal's unique characteristics.

The box clasps are also a fun challenge, but I love creating little mechanical elements and the challenge is part of the appeal in some frustrating, paradoxical way.
