Well chosen :0)

This stylised Breton Ermine pendant features a stone not only beautifully cut and finished but chosen for me by our very own lilacmonkey. I asked lilacmonkey to send me a mystery stone that he thought I would like, he could not have been more right it is exactly my kind of thing:

I have yet to ask him what it actually is but I think it is a plume agate, whatever it is I was very pleased to open the package and find it. Thank you Stu.

Cor, lovely stone - and setting too!

I think it's the shape - something to do with the regional flag?

Do you know what, Cornelius? I think that is my favouritist piece you've made. It is beautiful and I would wear that day in and day out

love it, love it , love it..... well, it is lush, lush, lush.

stick pins, show your stick pins.... Saturn, as you know is MINE! :)

Sounded heraldic to me, and here it is http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bre...w=1280&bih=650

It's beautiful in every way, Kwant and I'm glad you've forgone the much hated Birmingham Bail. Dennis.

I did eventually google as well. and a saturn stick pin? do show!

Yes as you have found out it is the heraldic symbol associated with Brittany, essentially it is an ermine's (posh weasel) tail not sure what the three circles are :0)

and for those that are interested here are the pins, the bottom two are not yet finished:
