First, thank you to everyone who looked, read and especially a big thank you to those who responded to the survey.    #3 Best Liked Style  I compiled you answers and here are the results: 14 liked the idea 5 liked the shiny 7 liked the patina finish 7 liked #3 (the leaves) 3 liked #1 (the swirl engraved look)  #1 Best Liked Finish 4 liked all of the styles 3 liked a silver chain 4 liked a simple chain 7 either would use their own chain or had no opinion My conclusions: My basic idea was well received and has lots of possibilities.
