It took me whole day to make this one. I am soo tired, but I wonted to share it with you. I need to do some edge corrections but mainly this is it. What do you think? Stones are Chrysoprase and Lapis. Thanks for looking. Zoran

Great work, and the stone is astonishing. It has a superb ancient look. I can almost see it at an Aztec priest's neck, standing on the top of a pyramid with an obsidian knife in his hand and preparing for a new sacrifice ... brrr! Honestly, I can't see what corrections are necessary. Maybe only to continue the "welding" of the upper silver piece (the one which holds the chain) on the whole width. You know, the priest might have fast movements and this pendant must withstand to them Adrian

Concerning the copper look...I'll bet Zoran had a red shirt on the day he snapped the pic's. It even cast a tone onto the "prase". I would have never spotted it on my own...what an eye Rob!
As for the silverwork...it's absolutely cool. I would pay good $$ for it Zoran. It is definately the type of thing I would be drawn to. I agree with Adrian. Workmanship & finesse will come with practice & more practice. The weld being a touch rough is the ONLY thing I could see that would show you are still learning. It's damn near perfect!

Thanks a Lott rock people. Considering "hint hint" - I don't feel too entitled to write tutorial about silversmithing, since I am self-taught. There are other RTH members that are more entitled to do that. But if in a near future nobody fulfill your expectations I could make some short photo report of how I do that. But it is going to be just that - my way of doing it.
