Jade pendant


This piece of jade - originally with no silver mount or bail - has a large hole drilled near the top.  Its owner had noticed a tendency for the pendant to twist round when hung on a cord, and hadn't worn it for a while. 

I enclosed the edge of the stone with narrow bezel strip, leaving the reverse of the stone open.  I went for a plain, wide bail which mirrors the shape of the jade and also hides the hole.
