Pendant : pierced stone

A nice pendant made in a primitive way, by hand-piercing a small stone with another stone, that’s possile !

3h (more or less, depending on the hardness of the stones). Plus some time to find the stones.

With a nice small stone, not too thick,

and a sharp stone (or a few ones, you'll need less time).

Guess how it’s made ?

Choose the stone to pierce and the sharp stone, which will be used as a drill. Thickness to be pierced : 3.3 mm.

Start piercing one side, using the sharp stone as a drill: press, turning one way and the other way.

Here is the result after 15 mn.

After 1 hour, here is the beginning of the 2nd face.

Et après 2 heures, working alternatively on the two faces.

Tips:
Take a few drills,
Aim carefully when you start the 2nd side
Stop when you're out of strength ; )

After 3 h, it's pierced !

Here it, with a thin and solid linnen necklace.

End wearing precious metals and stones.
Non polluting making (of course, you got the stone during a walk).
No unworthy working conditions in your necklace. Only one person is having (a little) hard time, that's you.
As a result, you'll be proud to wear it !

With a very soft stone,

15 mn will be enough.
