Sterling Silver and Amber Pendant

Here are some pictures of a just finished sterling silver and amber pendant. This is the first completed piece and was made as a gift. More to follow, and now Joseph, the maker has learned a few things from creating this one, the next ones will be much quicker. You can just make out the 925 hallmark stamp on the back in the 3rd photo.

Cuttlefish molding

Here are some pictures of a cuttlefish mold that is going to be used to cast a circular silver pendant. The mold will be held together by wire with the molten silver inside.

Amber before polishing

This is what 500g of raw amber looks like.

Some of the pieces have what looks like petrified bark on them. Some are like honey, and most of them have insects and pieces of stick in them. Most of these have been polished and you can see some of them in the previous post.

Some beautiful amber specimens

Here are some photos of polished Baltic amber. You can see insects inside some of them.
