Product Description
Very pretty brown agate with a banded "eye". Pendant is made from a tumble-polished agate slab with a sterling silver wire-wrapped bail. This tumble-polished agate is an orangey rust color with darker bands forming a subtle "eye" in the stone. It has been drilled for a 20 gauge sterling silver wire wrapped bail. The bail has a small "flower" or "clover" coil on the back side, then the single strand of wire was pulled through the hole to the front of the piece and coiled into a bail. This wrap finishes the piece nicely, as drilling holes in stones often leaves some rough spots. The stone is roughly oval in shape and measures 1 1/4-inch long by 3/4-inch wide. It is 1/4-inch thick. It has been tumbled to a high polish. The pendant (stone & bail) measures 1 5/8-inch long and hangs on a sterling silver chain with 1/8-inch long rectangular links. The chain is 18-inches long and is finished with a sterling silver lobster clasp and quality tab.
Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
I loved the eye in this agate slice and feel that the wire coil on the front side of the bail complements the eye in the stone.

My double-sided bail was designed to disguise a problem I encountered when I first started drilling stones: I would sometimes get chipping or tear-out on the back side. Even though this stone didn't need the disguise, the design keeps the pendant looking nice, even when it flips over while being worn.
