turned out just as I had hoped!
Voila! The finished product...
The clasp is substantial - one and a half inches in diameter. No doubt this will become part of a new bracelet design. I visualize a beaded toggle to pair with it. Perhaps I'll try my hand at beaded embroidery with a circular motif pattern featuring sparkly seed beads, pearls, and glass or gemstone cabachons secured by beaded bezels. Eye candy for sure! Or maybe I'll make a matching bronze metal clay toggle and have the flower disks dangle from sterling wire loops of various gauges and sizes. Yes, that seems likes a great design! Maybe I'll carve some small Faux Bone™ flower disks to go with the bronze ones! Oooh - I can't wait to start, but I must curb my enthusiasm, reign myself in, and finish projects that I already have in progress! As with so many of my handmade components, I have to have them lying around for a while, digest, and sort through the various ideas floating in my head before I actually start a piece. It's just all part of the creative journey!
