Vial Pendant

So Bobby's little containers stole my heart and I had to give it a shot, so I made this little pendant out of 20 gauge sheet that I cut and textured then bent around a metal rod and then soldered the seam closed. Next I cut the bottom plate and soldered it on just like you would a bezel. Then I made the little lid out of sheet that I domed slightly with a dapping block for a nice high rise shape, and soldered a thick bezel to the bottom to act as a.... flange is it? To go inside the vial to make it close, lol. Then I soldered the little jump rings on the side to hold the handle....and voila! A vial! The lid closes smoothly and sticks tightly, pretty neat don't you think?
