This bottle has a chipped mouth / neck.

Since I am both a lapidary, and also make a little jewelry, it looked like might be able to bring a little life back into it.

Was able to silver solder a piece to fit over the neck, and then cut the cabochon from some agate I have for the stopper.

I never would have thought of doing something like that.

Thanks for the positive comments !

I thought about trying to antique the silver a bit, but decided against it.
