You are right! Congratulate, the expert knowledge.
Yes, diamonds are in antique cut. I set them in pure silver according to the rules of old-time craft.
I thought it would be bored if both sides of pendant would be the same.
So invented a snake.
The most important matter in case of this work was to provide security for the stone.
The whole is held mechanically -stone has a hole, the wire passed through it, which is riveted at both ends (on the tongue of snake you can see one of the heads, the second is hidden under the diamond).
Of course I used a glue but only as an additional sealing.
I am probably most satisfied with the eye -it has even the pupil.
I wanted to create a scary monster as possible.
I apologize for my exotic english.
