This is very pretty and very stylish. I will have to do some modifications though. I do not work with metal, I work with cord so I will just convert it to hemp. The girl I want to make it for spends most of her summer in the pool so hemp is better than metal that may tarnish. Thank you for sharing.

The southwestern theme is so hot right now! This would be a great accessory for any fashion forward lady! :)
