First Sawed Piece



A lot of firsts this week! My first sawed piece! A lovely swallow cut into sterling silver. All findings and chains were oxidized, only the pendant was hammered and filed to give more texture. Then a lovely piece of labradorite was added in the front and two were added to flank the clasp. The patina gave this piece an amazing color quality, it looks like there is a beautiful purple and orange sunset behind the descending bird. I love sawing, and now I have realized that the possibilities in jewelry making are endless...!

My first ring!
