Shown here is the basic bezels soldered on flat sheet. I have done a rudimentary cut around the outside to give the pendant it's shape and you can see the beginning of the bail happening at the top. From here on out its just a matter of refining the silhouette, sanding, polishing, and setting the stones. (Right now the stones are resting on top of their respective settings for the visual effect) Oh- and the ring around the bottom setting will be hammered to add nice little texture detail around that stone, to give the piece a more hand-crafted look. (Albeit, it's entirely hand crafted all ready.) Lee, if you're reading this, know that the pendant will be well under budget. Stay tuned for the finished piece (tonight or tomorrow).
