This was such a PITA! I deliberately set out to make a mans pendant. I changed it about 3 times while I was working it. I am somewhat happy with it. What do you guys think? Is it obviously manly?  |

It's simple. Could be unisex?

Not to offend your work, love the bone you used and the wrap is simple. But to be honest with you chances are I wouldn't wear it.  Remember... please dont hurt me lol Thats just my opinion.  |

Yep, I think your wraps are awesome. So, clean an not metrosexual/ girly at all. Of course I don't wear any jewelry so I may not be a good judge of it all....Mel

If I was the pendant-wearing sort I'd probably buy it. But I'm not |

The men around here don’t wear wire wrapped pendants. All I’ve seen is either Jade Cove jade or Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper with a leather cord through a drilled hole. One man wears a big Virgin Valley opal encased in plastic.

I think the silver adds a touch of feminity to the piece. Maybe if you used some LOS to add some patina.
Beautiful work and IMO, unisex as it stands now.[/quote]

It's a good looking pendant, but like some of the others have stated, I don't wear jewelry and personally think it looks much better on women. Only wear my wedding band (under protest). |

ME to HE: is this pendant masculine or is it feminine?
HE: pendants are only for women
He wears a plain wedding band only.

Thanks for all your inputs. DH only wears a wedding band and viking knit bracelet. I don't know any men who wear pendants, but I do sell a lot of them to men who do wear them. Men's or unisex, either is fine with me. Honestly, I don't like this one. I almost took it apart. I have learned from past experience that sometimes the ones I like the least become someone else's favorite. So, I resisted the urge to scrap it.

It is very nice Tela... I am not much into wearing a pendant... unless they were a nice set of dog tags.  |

In my very limited experience, the few men who wear pendants prefer a rustic look. Rough stones, simple design, tarnished copper wire.

Nice piece of Gem bone! Beautifully done as usual!
I think I would have put the bail on the pointy end for a sort of Pyramid effect. Had it been more elongated, it could have passed as an Arrowhead shape and been more "manly"
