Making the Piece

I decided to create the pendant using PMC (precious metal clay).  I
could carve it in wax and then cast it, but it would take too much time.

I rolled out the clay 4-cards thick and then used the prototype to trace around it, so I could get the same shape and size.
I cut out the shape and dried it on a light bulb to get the dome I wanted.
I sanded the edges and top. Then  I carved the design on the left side.
I located where I wanted the center stone to sit, cut the hole for it and  started adding my texture down the middle using PMC paper chips.
I cut areas for the two smaller stones and then fired it.
Now I am working on the back side of the pendant adding a place for the center stone to sit on. Next I will send the client a photo and gain approval before I continue.
