A few years ago, I hammered a little silver branch with what looks like berries. For a long time it lay around in my studio, where I could not decide what to do with it. Last month, suddenly towards Spring, I had an idea. I had the silver branch cast for me with several branches. I fixed them together. then soldered them and added a natural Rhodonite stone on it. The result is a large pendant to which I also soldered a back of sterling silver. Finally I added two foxtail chains on each side. This is how it looks now: Attachments:
