    I love the way you did these pendants. Can you please explain a
    little more how you did the back on these? I understand the metal
    front but am still confused as how to hold everything together. I
    have also seen similar where the back is stone left uncovered and
    some where there is a metal backing. I just was unable to get a good
    look at how each was held together. 

Thanks a lot.
