Fancy (Couture?!...) Necklaces

Several weeks ago, my sister asked me for help - she needs an orange-colored necklace for her profile shot for their yearbook. Since i have no idea where to look for one, i've suggested her that i'll just make one for her. With small amount of creativity and knowledge about jewelry making, and after some trend research through the web for inspiration, i went to quiapo and bought my materials. This is what i came up with:

One of her classmate saw this when she brought it to their school for approval, and asked my sister  if i could make one for her too. Although i have no confidence with my works, i said "yes", and these are what i came up with:

Her classmate chose the second one. Me and my sister was kinda surprised. She thought her classmate would choose the first one because it looks more decent. The second necklace was actually just an afterthought - i just had fun making necklaces and got carried away and put every materials that i have onto that piece. I hope it would look good on her on her photo...
