Set a Toonie

Why? you might ask......well, a customer came to me with a request to set a special coin for her. So I set about the task and this is the test piece. My first claw setting! Because the coin is large and heavy, the setting is a thick piece of bronze with four thick claws. The claws were soldered into holes drilled into the base to give them the strength necessary to embrace the coin. The customer wanted the edge of the coin to be visible as it had a beautiful design stamped into it. Then I hand made a bail befitting the setting, allowing for a large chain or rope of the customer's choosing to complete the look.             

                                                          

This is my toonie set in bronze! I am really pleased with the result.
So much so that I have decided to sell this piece. It is a very stunning pendant with the bronze shining like gold.

It has been flattened, shaped and reticulated. The irregular shape purposely imitates that of the agate slices. Two little hematite and pink stones were added.

11-0083 Green Amber and Sterling Eye Necklace

A green amber tear drop was set on a sterling silver background made from an old spoon. The picture top right shows how I pierced the spoon to give eye-like detail when viewed from the front.

A bronze eyebrow was forged and then soldered above the amber. 2 little tube rivets were fashioned and installed. These are used to attach the eye to the hand made silver and bronze slider bead by silver chains.

The necklace that holds the slider assembly is made of 3 leather laces knotted and finished with sterling ends/rings. A big sterling lobster clas and another pierced spoon provide the means of securing the necklace around your neck.

a small piece of scrap sterling is sanded and stamped "MO" (Magpie Obsessions) and attached to the ring holding the spoon finding.
