Thank you all for the kind comments.tovio I do all the silver first,then polish it.i use the bezel as a template then cut the stones to fit perfectly. Then i re-dop the stones and get a final polish on them.then finally set the stones.and voila. Now I won't reveal the secret to making my pieces uniform on both sides.oh ok,I guess I will.being a master carpenter with a garage full of woodworking tools,I usually make a wooden mock up of the pendant and use some home made clamps to assist in the forming of the wire.a little enginuity goes a long way.hope this helps Dave

Excellent craftsmanship! As soon as I saw it I thought my daughter would love it, so I'm glad to see that it was commissioned for your friends girl friend. My daughter certainly can't be the only female comic book geek around. Once you've put the time into the template, I would think that the second or third would become (marginally) easier.
