A Jetty Amulet For Necklace 2
The name for this piece and the "theme" and form came from my initial experiments with laying the enamel samples against a variety of stones and found iron. The quarter-circular elements are sections of a gigantic washer which came from a jetty in Bournemouth, Dorset: literally a jetty rather than "jet-like", which is how I imagine Joyce intended the line to be taken.
The stones used are blue topaz, labradorite, peridot, kyanite, chrysophrase and turquoise.
PMC Floral Pendant
Slightly larger than a quarter, PMC and assorted CZ stones. Made from a mold of a vintage glass cabochon. Im thinking of enameling the negative spaces to make the flowers stand out better but Im not sure how the stones will react to being heated several times. PMC is a clay that turns into 99.9% pure silver when fired!
