Viking Granulated Necklace I don't have much info on this. I do know that I swiped the picture, and thus have NO right to be posting it! *guilt* I wish I had an approximate scale, frankly. if the original were actual-sized, the largest pendant is 3 inches (about 75mm) in diameter, which seems large. For my own purposes, I've decided to assume that that's about twice the real size- but in the re-creation of the bits, I will probably play some with the scale.

The stone settings on this are amaaaaaaaazing!

I know! Just- wow.

I'm determined to re-create at least some of the elements. I'm ordering some granules, and more sheet stock, and some amber and carnelian in as big round cabs as i can find easily (just under an inch). I started one of the beads today, to check out what thickness of metal I'll need, so I'm heading in the direction!
