All sorts of nice things - porcelain, good cloisonne, carved rose quartz, coral...

I like balanced asymmetry of the composition, the way the large porcelain bead isn't stuck in the middle like many less sophisticated designers might have done.

I'd pluck the coral beads right out of there and sell the rest.

The asymmetry is nice, but when actually worn, unless the weight of a large bead to the side is carefully planned for, isn't it likely to work it's way down to front center?

That's what I thought too

But, i guess if the clasp is "weighted" so it stays squarely at the back of the neck... my designs always move no matter how carefully I try to center. I try like crazy to do asymmetrical, and my brain just won't let me!
