I've finally completed two necklaces that I send to my aunt in Koopmansfontein. I hope she's going to like it. Koopmansfontein is near Kimberley in the Northen Cape.


For overnight delivery, counter to counter, I'm paying R52. I think it is brilliant that a package can travel to small corners of the country for a decent price.


I spend a few week-ends making all the beads, my aunt wanted them 92 cm in lenght ... alot of beads. I jazzed up the beads with some swarovski's and lead-free pewter components.


I used crimp covers to give it a more professional look.
