The first
piece is a miniature cow bell in 22k. The actual bell was made on miniature
stakes using the ancient technique of raising, moving metal (just as a
large vessel was made). The bell has a hollow 22k ball as the ringer,
and it rings like a bell. The piece is shown on 22k wrap necklace with
yellow sapphires.
The second piece is a silver miniature vessel with cone shaped crystal.
This piece is shown on an electrum wrap necklace with sapphires, pearls,
rubies and emeralds.
The third piece is a 22k miniature Greek vessel. It is shown on a 22k
loop-in-loop chain.
All pieces were raised on miniature stakes . They are all hollow.
I learned this wonderful ancient technique with Valentin yotkov at a Miniature
Vessel Workshop. The technique lends itself to infinite possibilites. |
