This is a local Estevan Agate I did up for a friend today.

Beautiful pendant! The stone has a very attractive look and the wrap looks flawless. The only thing is that the bail seems to be designed for a pretty fragile chain, it looks like the loop is small. A larger chain won't go through it I think, but maybe I'm wrong or maybe you want to put it on a leather cord.

PS. How do you bring the wire to the level of the stone? Do you cut a deep groove that hides the wire completely, or do you partially grind the contour wire?

Nice even binding around the bail. Im sure your friend will like it.

I have been cutting to the depth of the wire so it fits flush with the edge. It is going on a solid wire choker so the bail doesn't need to be very big.

That is stunning and will look great on a wire choker.
