    secondly, what size is ideal to make a pendant

    Is that gold?
    MR T would love the 10kg gold pendant.

    Depends on how large the wearer is.
    If it's your size 8 daughter 1/25 or 1/10 with fine chain to match
    If it's for your weight lifting former Olympic wrestler girlfriend, then probably the 1oz.

    Personally I find coin pendants somewhat gaudy and you can achieve the same effect - snake symbolism - with a gold chain or other pendant, whereas a coin is a coin is a coin. I've seen some nice silver snake bracelets as well.

    bullion is fine and one of the q's was what size is common for a pendant

    Premium depends on the size. 1/10 would be my choice for a woman.

    see, i'd only settle for an 8.5 or better, with a margin of error of +/- 1.5 for beer goggles ;)

    I wore a coin in a bezel around my neck for a while ( coin was aroudn 0.7 oz ) and let me tell you that its kinda heavy on the neck. ( and i have a pretty strong neck ! :) )

    wouldnt recommend anything heavier than 1/3 oz for day to day jewellery purposes.
