My simple D20 necklaces

Here are the two basic dice necklaces I plan to eventually make a bunch of in as many colors as I can find dice.  The one on the left is a single chain with a single die on it (drilled all the way through as usual).  The one on the right uses an additional piece of chain for a dangle.  One improvement I've made is using a jump ring to attach the looped headpin to the chain.  While this doesn't change much cosmetically in the necklaces, it makes the creation process easier because you can make the loop on the headpin tighter.  I've also found some important things out about the dice.  If you try to drill polyhedral dice, you quickly find out that the materials are not all the same.  Speckled dice tend to be made out of multiple materials and mostly rubber (the spots and solid color are separate materials), and translucent dice tend to be made out of pure resin or plastic.  What this means when drilling is that the speckled ones tend to split because they have all those different lumps in them (not so much on d20's, but a d4 that is speckled is a nightmare).  On the other hand, the translucent ones tend to melt a little bit when drilling.  If you stop the drill the bit will get stuck (permanently), they will sometimes reseal the hole if you don't put the head pin in immediately, and you have to chip the plastic stuff off the bit after every one you drill.  Finally, if you take a sharp knife and flatten out one of the points of the die you have an easier time getting the drilling started.
