Description This is a locket I made a few days ago . The lid is hand formed fine silver and the rest is soldered sterling silver sheet, tubes etc. It's a custom order based on one of my old desings. Stones are chrome diopside and two yellow sapphires. I hate making hinges, but this time I'm quite happy about the outcome .
The locket is 3,9 cm long.

So stunning! Your sculpting techniques in artclay are amazing! Is the back also made from artclay? Because I remember being told it's very hard to high polish it because the structure of the metal is so open.

drakonaria In reply to Cinniuint [2012-09-09 14:01:13 +0000 UTC]

Only the lid is art clay silver. The rest is traditional sterling silver sheet and tubing. But it is totally possible to give metal clay a high polish finish.

Sorry, didn't read the description correctly XD And yes, I hate making hinges too, though it becomes easier when you use titanium to align them, titanium won't solder stuck to anything.
