Watch Fob Beetle

Recently, I made a sterling silver beetle pendant with 2 Malachite cabuchons to act as a pocket watch fob. Here are a few details.

The smaller stone is set in a pre-manufactured bezel. I've since made a mental note to never use these bezels again - they lack character, are too shallow to securely hold a stone without resorting to glue; and can't be re-sized to accommodate any small discrepancy in the size of the stone.
