Hey everyone, so I was wondering if everyone could post different pendants they've made specifically for men. I have and order of pendants and two of them are for men. I have only made two pendants for men in the past and need some inspiration. Here are the two that I've made, I'd love to see what others have done! Thank you very much!!! Krista   |

If you look at a lot of my work, you will see many pieces that have sold to men or likely will. I think I have come to specialize in men. (Don't read into that! LOL!) I have a lot of very good male clients who love to wear pendants and love my simple style. I would say, just make it simple with no frills. I find that for my men- it's all about the rocks. They just want a simple, unobtrusive way to wear them. You do beautiful, tight work, so you shouldn't have any problems.

One of the first pendants and cabs I made but guys here loved it and it sold immediately...  Did this one for last summer...  This one I still have...  This one of my sons stole...  And that's what I could find at this point....Interesting post!!!  |

The men around here get a piece of local Morgan Hill Poppy jJsper or Big Sur Jade, polish it ---usually to a matte finish on the jade ---, drill a hole in it and hang it on a leather (or such) thong

But yes, need to agree overall, and the examples given by Cathy are excellent, would wear every one of those. When metal is used at all, I'm a sucker for two-tone, but in the end it always comes down to the stone itself. |

Krista: I think someone here ( Randy maybe) made a barbed wire look men's wrap with stephonite ago. Had to be the absolute coolest men's pendent I've ever seen. Randy, did you keep a pic of that one if it was yours?.....Mel

WOW! So many responses and all with great feedback! Thank you all so much, your pieces are very inspirational. I will have to post the ones I do for these two gentlemen.
Randy, Cathy, Diane, thank you for the pictures, they really help me visualize what I'm going to do.
I looked around at your pieces too Tela and they were very much inspirational as well.
Thank you everyone for the comments and suggestions!
Krista
