What to call this shape shell pendant?

I agree - FMG is the worst. Buy from Shipwreck or anyone else for that
matter.

Sterline -- if you want the full FM story, google the past discussions
on this newsgroup. They have threatened to sue me in the past for
speaking out against them, jerks that they are, and at any rate I've
said it all. Many times. Unethical business standards. And while it
was a while ago, the stories I knew at any rate, they get no redemtion
from me.

Ditto. Except that they haven't threatened to sue me. FMG SUCKS.

The shape of donut you're referring to was a very popular shape for
jewelry in the late 1960s. There were go-go boots, too (I had a
pair!), and go-go girls. So it could be called a donut a go-go.

What an unusual name! I wonder where the go-go came from! :-?

You and Flic must be under 40! :-)

Becki,

can I ask why you are so against firemountain? Just curious is all.

I like your name better than the go-go name. I asked the same question that
Flic did after reading the FM name... what's a go-go? but I thought I'd
post it up for Flic to read and maybe she could draw on that to inspire a
new name. Luckily, you tapped it. Stylized donut is perfect.

GO m3rmaid1d, GO!! Yeah, go baby go a go go! :-D

Yeah I'm with you, FMG can get bent.
Although I must say I wouldn't wanna steal anything from them--I wouldn't
want any of their cheapie, classless, low-quality **** even if they were
trying to pay me to take it off their hands......
(...and I could use the money, so that's really saying something!)

They also used to sell ovals with an off center hole as doorknocker
donuts or hoops because they were mainly used for earrings of that
name. I don't know if any people are typing that in ebay search now. I
would list them with the terms shell pendant and donut spelled both
ways, maybe even crescent as some people might be searching those
terms.

I always thought it had to do with go-go dancers... I don't know why! LOL

Well the general consensus seems to be go-go, so thats what I have
called them. Was so busy that I never managed to list them that
weekend, only just this moment done it!

I loved some of the other names too but limited in space! I have an
excuse for not knowing what go-go was though as I'm only 21 :-p . When
I did look originally I couldn't find anyone else selling these, which
is good in terms of competition, but on the other hand its nice to look
to see what other people are naming them!

Anyway, should anyone want a look they are at:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=280064960578 .

Thanks for everyones ideas and comments!

That's not an excuse.
Or, well--not a good one, anyhoo...
I'm not that much older than you, I'm 28 which may seem to you like a
stretch--but anyhoo the point is: I certainly grew up nowhere NEAR the
"go-go era", yet I've always known what "go-go style" looks like...

Because more important than the age/timeline debate, is the fact that you
ought to be able to recognize/understand very easily-identified
styles/fashions/eras if you're trying to be at all serious about being a
designer. (ie: jewelry designer--which is what yer trying to be, right?)
