So Simple

There were just a couple of pieces of glass left over from the coaster project, so decided to, once again, try some very simple jewelry. 

Pendant - transparent aqua with aqua and white marble in the center - re-purposing scraps

 As you may recall if you are a regular reader, my last jewelry attempts did not come out so well.  If you look to the right, I have added the earlier post of that 'tale of the wrong glass....."

The clarity and simplicity of combining these two pieces of glass and simply full-fusing them is very appealing to me.

For this to become wearable, however, requires a way to attach the glass to something.  Adding a bail would work.   Gluing one on, however, would mean that the back of the bail would show through the transparent glass detracting from the piece.  Drilling a hole and adding a pinch-bail might be a good solution, however that does require a drill - and better yet (with glass,) a wet drill.  There are some advantages in using opaque glass.

I can't decide if this would look best vertically or horizontally.  Traditionally, something longer like this would have a curve that follow the curvature of the neckline and look somewhat like a collar or neck-cuff.  At 2.5 inches, I think it could be suspended horizontally.........probably should resolve the bail issue first!
