Good day all, Here is another pendant I made up, not so keen on the setting but love the stone. Rare blues mix with green and a touch of orange and yellow. 360 degree flash and semi brilliant. I grade this as an A grade stone. Ammolite is graded from B (not good) to AA (at least 3 colors, very bright, 360 degree flash and no inclusions that distract from the stone. There is very little AA grade material. Thanks.

Beautiful piece of ammolite. I like how you did the bail on the pendant.

that's great! The bail on the pendant wants you to make a thick solid circle (like a collar) to hang it on, or to use a thick round(like serpentine links) chain... so dramatic! What a wonderful piece, cab and pendant work together.

What a nice example of ammolite. I like the setting too, stop thinking about it.

Both of your ammolite pendants are beautiful, Tom! Very nice silver workmanship! I like how you did the bail on the pendant. Me, too!
