On pendants---I am leaning toward goal posts that I join and work with graphite reamer into a hoop. So I make a 1/4 inch long post on the distal side of what becomes the hoop- then a 1/2 inch long post on the front side--- pull the rod to size the diameter-- then join the posts and work the reamer to shape the hoop. I have tried pre-constructing hoops--- and also just pulling bails freestyle- sometimes I get good result, but sometimes a mess. I am always trying to find ways of getting repeatable consistent results--- to have better control of my end product.
