My advanced chasing class finally pays off

I may not get my cuff bracelet done, since I've been distracted by the "ooh shiny" feeling of making my own chasing tools(!), but I finally finished this. I started it a year ago in my first chasing class, and I finally cleaned it up, cut it out, soldered a bail on, and added the polished ammonite half. It's waay too big for a pendant (at least to me, but I don't subscribe to the Wilma Flintstone School of Jewelry), so I figure I'll hang it up somewhere prominent.
