Black and white agate Drilled Pendant    
Unfortunately, a flare of light obscures the neat striped pattern on the left side of this stone, but take my word for it, it's great. Plus, when you hold the stone up to the light, you'll see that area is a translucent dark chocolate brown! 64 x 31mm

Instructions for making your own bails for these pendants:

You can easily make a bail from 18 or 16-gauge wire: just form a round, half-round, oval, triangular, or even rectangular jump ring out of the wire. Make sure it's big enough so that the pendant hangs freely on it. File the edges so that they fit flush, and using two pairs of pliers, open and close the ring several times to work-harden the wire. If you over-close the ends a couple of times, the metal will develop a spring action and will close more snugly. For an artsier bail, you can either cast or fabricate the top part and then make a rivet, put it through the stone and bail, and cold join it together--just be careful not to break the stone!
