Jewelry Making

I have decided to try out jewelry making to help supplement Aqeel's income. I am not sure how good I am so I need everyone's input. Please be completely honest even if it may seem brutal. I made this necklace out of jade, with swarovski crystals. It has sterling silver wiring and lead free toggle clasp. I don't even know how much I would sell it for, but it cost about $20 to make. Please give me your opinions.

I just started trying to make some fun stuff, too - you're braver than me, though, I didn't dare use the sterling wire because I thought I would mess up with it too much and it is expensive :) It looks like you did a great job - the color combo is not my favorite, honestly, but I like the crafstmanship :)

I love those square beads. I think the colors are fun for summer. How long is it?

it is 30 inches long toggle to toggle. So I am not sure exactly how you measure length. When I put it on it hits me at about my bra.

Michelle - you said you didn't like the color combo. If you were looking for a piece what colors would you be more drawn too?

I agree with Michelle. Not loving all the colors together. However, I love the pinks and yellows separately.
