That hurts all the way here in CA. I would turn it into two. There’s almost always at least a little material missing. I’ve learned that the hard way.

That actually a beautiful break, Mike
If there is such a thing
I'd probably re seam it
In this case though
keep the 2 pieces
Perhaps put a little cleave on top
As a broken heart

Possibly flip one side up and make a ying/yang type pendant

Perhaps it was begging to be earrings? Maybe trim them down to focus on the fortifications?

So Sorry, but ironic as I had one break a while back and decided to finish it (the other half did not survive and went to the tumbler). I call it Broken Hearted.  |

*!?)*@#!!$#!! I hate it when that happens.
They will make a pair of wonderful earrings, though. Pretend they're tiny pendants. Use 26 or 24 ga. wire, depending on how big they turn out. Don't even mess with embellishment stuff unless you want to. Make a small loop at the top instead of a bail. Buy some ear wires and put them on the loop. Done! Pair them with one of your pendants as a set.  |
