It's made with lozenge-style turquoise beads, swarovski crystal links/spacers, sterling silver chain and fastenings (including the earring wires), and blue glass seed beads. I probably could fix it, and keep the style pretty much the way it is with some minor tweaking, but I have something a little different in mind for it.
Oh, there's a funny story about this set. When I first made it a few years ago (as indicated by my first post, I took a long hiatus from crafting), I posted it for sale on Craigslist. I can't remember what I was asking for the set, but I was shortly emailed from some fellow who offered me $25 MORE than what I wanted, so that I would be inclined to ship the set to them. We bickered about the payment method. I wanted cash or money order, he wanted to send it to me via Paypal or Western Union. Eventually I got annoyed with his pestering, and settled on Western Union despite my misgivings (it is easy to scam this way).
Then, he did his best to convince me to send the set BEFORE he paid me...telling me that he was concerned that I might take his payment and not give him the goods.
Yeah, right.
Eventually, I got him to "send me the money" via Western Union before I sent the product. I got the confirmation email, supposedly. When I asked him what the answer to the security question was, he never got back to me.
Good thing I'm not a fool with my products. Next time, I will definately pay more attention to my gut feeling!
Just a note to everybody out there.... 1/ never ship without confirmation of payment first, and 2/ Paypal is fine, but don't use Western Union for e-commerce. It's too easily forged. God knows how many nitwits fall for that scam.
