Sorry about the low quality photo but time has been very limited so I took this shot with my phone at work,lol I left the bail closed on one of the K2 wraps thinking it would be better suited for a male to wear. Any opinions on that? K2, lapis, and birdseye ryholite  I left the bail closed on one of the K2 wraps thinking it would be better suited for a male to wear. Any opinions on that? Chuck |

looks good on the bail either way, I don't see anything particularly masculine about one bail type over the other. The appeal probably differs with the individual's perception. You have widened the appeal for a different taste by making closed bail as well, just a good idea for variations on a theme.

You have done an exceptional job with these...As far as the bail, I guess it really boils down to the person that is wearing it...Pair it with a leather cord...That would do it..JOhn

Its the first pendant I have ever worn. Chuck |

My favorite is the birdseye rhyolite with the copper. Did you use something to give it that patina?

Thanks- After the stone was wrapped it was tumbled in steel shot to work harden the bail then it was dipped in a solution of liver of sulfur to tarnish it. The last step is to remove the tarnish with fine steel wool until you get the effect your looking for. Chuck |
