Looking good! When you gave it to your dad how many folded up $100 bills were tucked in the clip:) Is that flat silver you used for the prongs on the coin, don't look like 1/2 round. Looks like 1/2 round on the stone though.

Great prongs, they can make or break. Especially with such a close up photo.

Beautiful pro work. The picture of the back shows off the workmanship very well.

Thank you micellular.it wasn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be.the hardest part was trying to cutout a perfect circle on the back.punches are in order,but are costly for the occasional hole. Dave

That's a good looking clip. I still think your prongs on the stone are long, but I know that's your style. One day though, you might come to agree with me when you look back on it. The prongs on the coin are tidy and sized appropriately - nice work!

That is so beautiful! Great choices for material. That scrumptious chrysoprase works so well with the white silver. The whole piece is very solid and professional looking.
