Front toggle nrcklaces
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of necklace design?
http://www.gimme.de/andeesign/andees...ightlapis.html It looks so good in photos, but I can't imagine it staying centered while being worn. Tina |

My sister made one - and it stays centered because the focal bead is
connected to the round part of the toggle - the weight of the focal holds the necklace in place. The one thing you have to remember is to keep the wire or jump ring you use a bit small because it can get in the way of the toggle closing. Denise www.glassbeadz.com Glitzy Glass Studio |

Ohh, I like that. i'd not seen those before. I like the idea of the
toggle in front, especially because my mom likes toggles, but can't seem to fasten them behind her neck (i've told her to fasten in front, and then turn it around...but she keeps forgetting). This way, she can just fasten and go. Awesome! I don't see why they wouldn't stay in one place when being worn, though, as the pendant would weight it well. There are so many pretty toggles out there....got my brain working now, and I can't do anything about it today...LOL. Thanks, Tina. I'll have something to work on when I get home!

I've made a few of these and they stay centered fine... I've done some with small removable bails so that the necklace is convertible (toggle in back w/ no pendant). And I do the same thing with nice Bali 'S' hooks, hanging vertical in the front w/ pendant, or in the back w/ no pendant. Sometimes the hooks or toggles are just too pretty to hide in the back under long hair! =) -- Polly --- don't spook my groove... icq 13968113 http://saxoncreek.com/ |

It would look great with a toggle shaped like an anchor and coral beads with
a nautical pendant, too. "Christina Peterson" wrote in message ... Does anyone have any experience with this sort of necklace design? http://www.gimme.de/andeesign/andees...ightlapis.html It looks so good in photos, but I can't imagine it staying centered while being worn. Tina |

It looks so good in photos, but I can't imagine it staying centered
while being worn. It *is* pretty heavily weighted with that focal -- I'd think the centering wouldn't be any problem. I've seen them without a focal, too, on various women, and never off-center. Don't know how they achieve that balancing act, though. |

OK. This makes sense.
Though now I have more ideas. How about the focal on the ring of the round part, and two curved toggles on the necklace.
