Title: Fish Pendant
Medium: Silver, Amethyst
Size of Work: 3” x 2” x .4”

Cuttlefish, used to create metal castings, have a distinctive pattern. I designed the shaped of my piece to incorporate the texture of cuttlefish bone. This piece took many tries to complete. Attaching a bezel was quite difficult because of the thickness of the casting. To continue the theme of the fish, I designed an original clasp in the shape of a fish tail. The result inspired me to expand my consideration when designing a piece to include texture as an important element.
