A Clasp or Knot?

I've made bracelets with Swarovski crystals some with a clasp, some on a stretch cord with a knot. I like stretchy bracelets because they are easier to get on but when it comes to the shiny, pretty Swarovski crystals I think they deserve a clasp. In a way it makes it a bit nicer. Weeks ago I added pictures of the stretchy knotted type. Does it make a difference of presentation or whether you would purchase or not?

Making jewelry again this week. Patience is a must when using seed beads! Pic is a little dark, I was up really late.

Jewelry Handmade and Designed

     Lately I've been making and creating unique styled jewelry. Mainly using glass beads and Swarovski crystals. It's a new addiction! I started with bracelets and anklets, have over 30 completed so far. Recently, I've focused on creating 4 piece sets (necklace, bracelet, and earrings), but only have a few made. My goal is to keep practicing and learning techniques so we can possibly design our own jewelry collection some day. Another goal added to our very long list of hopes and dreams. =) So... Please comment and tell us what you think! Each picture is numbered to make it easier. Tell us which is your favorite, if you dislike any, and if you would buy for yourself or give as a gift. Any tips or suggestions for us?
