Hello there fellow crafters, I am in need of your help!

I would like to make a necklace likethis, but I have no idea how I would make it. It looks as if it is just a smoother piece of glass with a picture glued or something on the back. .but I really have no idea. So I was wondering. . how would I go about making this necklace? any tips?

These are super easy to make. You can usually fine "stones" like this in the tiling section of a hardware store. Just look for small glass tiles for bathrooms.

Then, find the picture you want on the back. Coat the picture in a mix of 1-1 white school glue - water, and stick to the back. The glue mix will dry clear. You can also use Elmers Spray Adhesive (which is totally worth it).

Then attach a ring to the tile, and put a chain through it.

You'd need to either drill a hole in somehow (I don't know any techniques that wouldn't break the glass) or attach a clasp somehow.
The image looks to me like it has silver along the back and top to anchor the loop.
If you can't work with real silver or have a jeweler do it for you, you could try using some silver colored sculpey, which hardens with baking. I just can't vouch for how well it would hold to the glass though, since I've never tried it.
