I made the chain on the closure so that it would be adjustable. This piece
is really stunning on.

The pendant is Raku.

The hook just goes into one of the chain links and the weight of the piece
keeps it pretty secure. I have worn it several times with no problems and
am now finishing a lot of my work this way so that it is adjustable.
However, there is no reason you could not use a spring activated clasp like
a lobster clasp, if you were worried about it coming undone.

beautiful!

question: is the "hook" intended to go through the loops on the
chain, or is there something else that stops the hook from sliding?
in the picture, it appears that the hook is over the chain - what
keeps it from sliding?

That is gorgeous! It makes me think of Hepburn or someone wearing satin,
curled up in an overstuffed chair, reading a book in a very rich
library/room with a fire lit, beautifully carved mahogany lamp tables,
excellent red wine and in walks the dashing leading man ....
