Working with Gold
Well - you have to do something when you computer goes AWOL !!
Two broken 9ct gold chains and a handful of minuscule Amethyst beads have been lurking at the bottom of my 'findings' box forever. Thought it was time I did something with them - decided to combine them into one necklace. Left one plain and reused the original lobster claw fastener. The second one was somewhat finer - so carefully opened some of the links and threaded on the tiny beads and attached it to the same fastener to make a double chain. Never worked with gold before (don't look, Jem!) but am quite pleased with result.
