I can't decide, too much bail? Thanks for looking...

It's a pretty pendant! For some folks there might be too much bail. I think that if the silver wire had framed the copper winding of the bail instead of covering some of it, it would have echoed the red on white pattern of the cab. Just an observation that occurred to me while I was enjoying your piece.

It's a little too much for me, but I'm a minimalist when it comes to wrapping. All in all, I think it's very pretty and the stone is way cool!

I don't think it has too much bail. I think that the original design is usually the best. And I often botch something up if I come back and try to 'fix' it. But each artist is looking through their own unique lens.
The rock is outstanding. I also can't believe that most of these rocks were formed using a Dremel tool either. Amazing.
I notice that you have always used a very interesting, visually complex background with taking your pictures. I think that most would appreciate this, if these were on a website for sale. I might adopt this technique, because right now my pictures look like mugshots compared to yours. And don't add so much to the photos, as yours do.

I like experimenting with the backgrounds, but someday I need to work on a better lighting setup. Anyway I appreciate the compliment!
