Hi everyone, I made a cab with a concave side and then I started thinking how to put it into a pendant. I had the idea to add a small accent cab, such as it can swing like a pendulum. The big cab is Owyhee Jasper and the small one is Blue Lace. Here's a picture of the back. In fact this one was supposed to be the face but the red areas proofed to be softer and took a dull polish. So I flipped it and made a double dome. Thank you for looking, Adrian

Adrian, that is a really neat idea! You did a great job of finishing and wrapping the pendant so it's exactly where it should be. Nice work!

Thank you all! I think those wires which go up towards the bail look too thin, maybe a square twisted wire should have been more appropriate. Adrian PS. Yes Jamie, we were recovering. Dunno if this is good or bad, I'm not sure I wanted to recover

That is wonderful work Adrian. Really original. Imho, the wires are perfect and look great. A twist would have detracted from the stone and the pendulum.

Thank you again! Steve, you call me tallented and so on but I don't feel appart from any of you, all of you come with astonishing ideas and acomplishments regarding the lapidary work! Lori, if a master wrapper like you says the round wire is best, I take it as a certainty! Adrian
