Moon Beads - design question

Found a box containing some alabaster glass moon beads, so strung them up with some Australian "Null Arbor" beads just because, well why not?

I like the effect, and am debating converting the idea into a short necklace, as the Null Arbor beads are lightweight and comfortable to wear, counteracting the heavy moon beads.

What do you think? Go for it or no?

Hi Chris,

Sorry about the weird image...but here's one from the vault...a short necklace with just one moonbead, strung on a strand of vulcanite discs that fit the perforation so the bead slides freely upon it, with loop of smaller vulcanite discs that slips snugly over the eye bead for a clasp.

I got these out thinking I'd attempt to sell them, but if I do some sort of design with them, that means I'll be buried with them because no one will ever purchase someone else's design.

Am not all that anxious to part with them, so the sell-or-design? quandry currently has me stumped. Maybe I'll just do a necklace for the fun of it, then take it apart 3 years from now and sell the damned beads...

[BTW, happy to see someone else likes the effect of combining thousand-eye beads with moon beads.]
