    A pendant I made some time ago but still love. I particularly liked making the chain so the whole piece gelled (for me). Tho' I can't remember what the stone was. I think it was called Poppy Jasper. The beads were Carnelian and matched in colour tying everything together.

    gosh what lovely work everyone. I did this pendant during this weekend - I have had this piece of labradorite sat staring at me for a few months and after needing to relax my eyes from all the mini stones I set, this was a nice change. I made the chain a little while back but think they work well together.

    All the pieces are so different, yet they are all lovely. It is great to see the individuality we jewellers have!

    I love this Carol at the moment I am making tube pendants for myself and siblings for my fathers ashes, I like your use of the stone on the bttom and the etching, it has given me a few more ideas, I was thinking of soldering wire and flowers around some but wanted to set a stone, I kept thinking how can I have a stone and something to hang it from on the top when I want the stone centred, thanks for the idea

    Thought I would enter this month not that my pendant is up to standard but you may like the story.

    I drive a classic mini and earlier this year my wife was driving it when it caught fire I do carry an extinguisher so the fire was put out without too much damage. When fitting a new wiring loom I found a small piece of copper that had melted in the fire. As you have probably guessed that is now the centre piece of this pendant. My wife loves it and one day I may tell her where the copper came from but she has already had the last laugh by asking for matching earrings

    That's at least saved something from your disaster, Carl. Trouble is, you now have to set fire to two more cars. Dennis.
