Rutilated Quarts Inspired pendants

So here's my progress on these pendants.

Pendants for the sale

So I'm making various things for the sale. Among them are the geometric bracelets I been making with sea glass. Trying to go with my math side of me. Heh. Making rutilated quartz, my interpretation of them. Got my gold leaf and resin. And some urchins. Excited!!

Prong Setting

Ah prong setting. Take 5 give or take. Over the summer I tried to make prongs but failed. So I'm back at it. Making prongs for a baguette stone. Though I think my design will include a trillion cut or probably the baguette. Not sure. Definitely have to figure it out soon.

Brooch: Fungi flower.

Got my two fungi forms soldered. It's sooo delicate to touch. I definitely feel like it would snap. Trying to be careful. Soldered the pin back. Now to solder the catch. Though I may need to take the jet set stuff off.. Grr.

Fungi Brooch Part 1

This brooch has been difficult from day one..  Made a bunch of circles and flattened them out so they were more an oval shape, then proceeded to solder them on top of each other to have enough metal to set a stone in there. Oh yeah, 2-2.5 mm aquamarine stones…
