I used nickel sheets and paper templates that I designed to cut out layers of petals and curve them into stackable sets. Each set of three layers had to be uniquely formed so that those layers came into contact at the center. I then soldered the layers together using an acetylene torch and pliers to hold the layers steady. A stud backing and jump rings were then soldered onto the back of the flower. I then cut and formed a leaf for each flower and attached it to the jump ring chains. I then cleaned and polished the earrings using a pickle solution and polymer clay buffing.

I created a brass bezel set cabochon pendant that features a rope detailed border and textured backing. I then gave the setting a liver of sulfur patina and polished to highlight the texture and detailing.
