The Tourmaline Bracelet - part II

The Multi-Tourmaline strand below is still in transit. But I also needed a new clasp for this bracelet, a 3 strand silver clasp. A $36 strand of gemmies deserves a sterling silver clasp. I went to a local supplier for this, now I didn't expect it to be cheap, but $25 is waaay out of the budget - this is only the clasp remember.

Therefore its obvioulsy time for a FMG purchase. I think this is where beads a bred. This online mega-store has everything you could possibly need. Shipping is a little expensive, so when you order, order big.

Anyway, the clasp was only $12 so I upgraded to a prettier one with a filigree pattern which was still only $16.

I expect this to arrive on Friday (Fed-Ex is much more reliable than the Australian postal system) along with a heap of Swarovski Crystals that had been sitting in my shopping cart for over a month waiting for the magical 'buy now' button to be hit.
