First piece.

Finally its begun and my 1st piece is some what done… for now, I am deciding on possible changes but for now it remains like this. What it is is a pendant, the frame hollow constructed out of sterling silver and then set clear resin inside holding gold leaf.

Added some photos of the process I go through when making an item of jewellery, just to give you a rough idea. The inspiration behind this one and the piece to follow ( a ring I am starting to work on) is my Btech collection I have to produce this year. My theme for this collection is my family, basically creating a family tree inspired jewellery, this particular piece is inspired by my brother.
