~~~~ About this pendant ~~~~
===========================
This tutorial will show you how to create a beautiful pendant using a 4 cm diameter stone and a mandala coin. The coin is glued over the stone which is bezeled using delica and seed beads in circular peyote stitch. This tutorial also includes the instructions for the beaded bail. You can also use your own bail, a metal one or any other one you choose.
~~~~ Where can I get the beads? ~~~~
===================================
I had a hard time locating these mandala coins, I got them at my local bead shop. You can purchase the stone + coin in my shop in all four colorways, here's a link:

You can also use any 4 cm diameter stone and bezel it without the coin
