It took a long time for this necklace to come together. My friend Jeanne gave me the amber after her husband died. I got the coral, turquoise and Balinese beads at an outside art show in Portland, Oregon. I bought the red disc beads-actually made in Africa from old phonograph records-at a bead show.
The beads spoke to me one day and I put together the necklace below. I couldn’t find the right clasp to save my life, so, with some basic wire skills I learned in a glass from my Beading Yoda Jeri Schatz, I made a clasp. And then I made more clasps. And then I wrote an article on how to make clasps which is in the latest edition of Step By Step Wire Jewelry. 
Ornamento 
These clasps had some welded elements not as easy to make for everyone. A little deceiving.
No welding but the silver wire is balled in a torch. Easy to do. Here is a good tutorial: http://www.kriskramer.com/learning/balling-silver-wire.html
