Well, I'm making mine look like enamel work. Same shape, same color as the portrait. The longer I looked at the ones I'm making, I decided to change them from the diamond shape to a more rounded one. I cut off the points and it looks fine. I trimmed down the round dome into a cut gen stone look. So they look much like the ouches in the portrait...but now I have to make 18 more for the ones I bought long ago. Oh well, a few at a time and it'll get done.
