Pussycats are beautiful, your a lucky man. I have two daughters also. One is a nurse and the other a deputy sheriff.
Watch out they grow up fast.
Cats are pretty cool also.

Good looking pendents for good looking young ladies! Please, tell us how you did that! After finding appropriate shape the rest is pretty easy. Greater part of this shape can be done on rough grinder. Problems are only cat's ears and tail. I use thin wooden sticks with SiC abrasive papers (wrapped around them and fixed with tape) to get the right shape. I also use these wooden sticks on subsequent steps with 240, 600 and 1200 SiC, of course only on stone edges. Flat surfaces are done in usual way. Regards, Zotika

Cute Zotika! I'm sure they'll cherrish them for a long time
KD, I once bought a couple of pendants from a bubble gum type machine. what the guy did was saw a slot into the rock, drop in some glue and put in a jump ring.
The ones that were in the gum ball machine, I'm sure were rejects cause they weren't done very well.
