Well before anyone says anything I want to say these were inspired by brotherbill. They started out in design as dog tag like. The lady at the consignment shop I sell out of called and said she is sponsoring an event for tenacious women. So I was going to make the ladies of the shop gifts and dog tags weren't going to get it. So there was brotherbill posting that great pendant and I kind of went off of it. The word SISU on the back means grit among other things the equivalent of tenacity. The stone is MI greenstone. I will make a few more for sale at the event but with bigger stones.

Beautiful, Billy! The ladies will be delighted.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

The ladies do a wonderful job keeping my jewelry displayed and look good. It's the least I can do for them.

Love the work. You are going to make them very happy.

This reminds me of a Trevor Noah bit, that's slightly crude, but funny as hell and true. In it he wonders how a slang term for female reproductive anatomy ever came to be used as a synonym for weakness, when it should be the opposite.
