Yes, our tile is ceramic too and just harder than the pendant was I guess. I'm lucky that the other one didn't break too. I think the wooley wire helped protect it!<br /><br />I'm so glad you like my pieces.

I know how painful that is. We have ceramic floors in the Keys and have broken a ceramic on them before. You did do a great job repairing it. Wear it proudly or consider a new ceramic from Firefly Studio. It is a pretty necklace. <br /><br />Your earrings are an engineering feat.

I have such a hard time turning to pre-made chain sometimes. This was one of those times. It's really just an excuse to try to use up some of my bead stash!

I might add something to the back to secure it even more. Selling it was definitely out of the question the moment it broke, but I worked so hard on it - I had to share it. And, will likely wear it too.

I know that it's solidly together, but can't bear to have someone else give me money for something I know is broken. I'm just so mad at myself over it. But, I know I'm not the only one who's gone through this.
