I have an account with Potomac on my other email & I could not get the free clasp with the long oval so I used my other email address where I don’t have an account with Potomac.  I also I tried to change the free clasp to the gold clasp & couldn’t do it.  I had a hard time trying to get the deal for today.  I would like the gold clasp that was offered with the purchase of long ovals that I want to make & also a pair of earrings.  I am a fairly new customer & have only purchased from Potomac 1 other time.  I have a bead store that I’ve done business with but it’s easier to purchase on-line with free shipping over $75..
