So I've come up with this design for a focal bead necklace and earrings set. The idea is for it to feature one focal bead, and be relatively simple, but still use nice quality (ie sterling silver) findings. There are a few small silver beads in there as well, but the black beads are just seed beads. So my materials cost is a lot lower than for a necklace that uses a) a bigger, more expensive clasp, b) semi precious stones, and c) more silver. I think it looks really simple and classy, and lets the focus be on the big bead. This particular big bead was really hard to photograph. I want to offer some items in the $20-30 range (rather than $80-100 which is what some of my other necklaces with multiple beads go for). My vision is to have many of these at my stand, and to have a smaller amount of my more expensive sets on display. The more expensive sets never sell at craft fairs, only at a small gallery that I am in, but I like to have some out anyway (just in case, plus to at least show people my beautiful big pieces and draw them in!)

Alright, let it fly. What do you or don't you like about this necklace, would you buy it, how much would you pay, do you think that it is worth making a bunch more? PS I make the lampwork beads myself (as most of you know by now!)
