"Kathleen Wright from Kathleen Wright Jewelry. I wanted to just continue here, I’m going to show you one more sample and then I’m going to actually do it. As you can see I have some charms here on this one, say you want to do a necklace that has a whole bunch of charms and you want to hang them off either a piece here that’s already linked, already wrapped or in this particular one I’m going to just connect these charms on either side of this chain because I have nice holes here. So I’m going to put this crystal charm, I put the actual headpin at the bottom here, you can either headpins that look flat like that or I have another kind of headpin I’m going to show you which are very nice. These are sterling, a little more decorative, they have a little head at the bottom that’s going to show so I’m going to put that in, depending on what you do, you can get a whole bunch of decorative headpins, make sure they have the bottom flat. You know this particular one we used, we used the decorative one, this actually isn’t the bottom it doesn’t have the piece but it’s going to look really great you know the whole piece together because we’re going to use the decorative plain ones with this.
