Ireland’s Fiona Herbst combines utility and drama with a simple closure. The dotted and bead fits perfectly. Maybe Fiona will tell us how she keeps the bead from pulling through.

The look is very modern. See the rest of her line of trendy pieces on Facebook and Instagram.
Magnet.
Beautiful work!
I re-thought my idea that a magnet is the secret: I’m now thinking that you slide the large piece down to the “plug” and gravity/weight holds it in place. Delightful!

I agree. I figured out, many days later, that gravity does the job. Thanks.
