Subject: Christmas Present for My Wife

I thought some people might find this neat:

I took my wife's Halo emblem and made it into what I think is a pretty nice piece of jewelry - a necklace pendant. I am really happy with how it turned out - I just hope she likes it!

The front is yellow gold, the back is white gold, and the center is a sapphire. It's about 3/4" in diameter and is on a 20" chain. The chain slides through it in such a way that it always faces forward and always slides to the bottom.

Woah, where'd you get the halo emblem in the first place?

It looks nice.

The emblem is "Sol" for the front and "8-pointed star" for the back. I used a brush template for Photoshop to play with various colors and determine the best way to make it.

The colors of her actual emblem are different from the necklace, but as you can imagine, pinks and reds don't translate well in metals! ;)

Where I currently live it is the 24th of December, (Christmas Eve). Do you plan on giving it to here tonight or tomorrow, (Christmas Day)?

Also, post her reaction via this thread when you give it to her. I am sure that others, including myself, would really like to see what she thinks! :)
