Plique a jour Pendant
This was just a project to see if I could expand my plique skills.

this is me figuring out which colors to put where.

I made a custom catch. I don't think I have a picture with the chain.

Basic silver construction, bunch on little pieces ready to become one solid mass |
I originally thought I would make a ring of colour across the top. This didn't work out as it prevented closing the bezel. |

position the carnelian and make a bezel for that. |
pause to goof off a little bit....... The section of tusk on the right is where I cut the ivory from, more on that later. |
