Hate double posting but my edited post I don't think is working LOL. Here is the front and back of the pendant. I like the prongs shorter way better than the longer version (thanks Gemfellow). They are not rounded like they should be but are flush with the stone, it does not catch when I run it up and down my shirt, 100% better. The stone is not centered on the back, but I shall get better. The thread looking thing seeming to connect the two closest prongs is a dog hair from my shirt that I did not see when I shot the pictures. The little white flecks are dust or something. Also just in case you are wondering, I know the stone is not a perfect diamond shape, this was drawn out by my wife to get the most color from the stone:) Thanks for looking

Hey Tom, that's called Free Form, that means you are free to form it any old way you want to. Very nice, by the way!!

Beautiful. The shorter prongs look way better. Looks like you also ground them to flush the surface of the cab.

YES! This is way better. Not that I didn't like the other, because I did. In terms of looks, I like them both, but it is important to be as snag free as possible.

Well ya got-er-done and you'll only get better as time and patience go on! I think the new burrs you bought will help your prongs a lot and if (and when) I can find the money I'll be buying a set too! connrock

Thanks very much everyone, I really appreciate the honesty. If you see something that can be improved please share it. I am much happier with this piece now and look forward to my burrs arriving so I can play:)
