Hey Maillers!
Long time Mailler, first time caller here
As the title says, I've been wanting to create a chain and pendant using a single ring size (16g swg 5\16" ID 5.2AR specifically) that includes a captured marble...3 marbles actually. Two standard marbles that are 16mm/5/8in in diameter and one larger 25mm/1in "shooter" marble.
The issue is that because I'm limited to one size of ring (and frankly my skills are still quite novice level), everything I've tried to work up doesn't quite fit what I'm trying to do and the tutorials I've found online largely deal with smaller sized beads or multiple ring sizes. Ideally the standard marbles would be part of the chain and the larger marble would be pendant style but I'm open to anything that will capture or hold these dang things within my limited material constraints.
Anyway, if anyone had any ideas or could perhaps point me towards some kind of resource that deals with this sort of thing I would be deeply grateful. Again I'm super open to any suggestions, technical or design, as I've been trying to puzzle this out for months now T_T
Many thanks in advance,
Max
