These are designed to show a nice pair of pearls as dangles. They might otherwise be obscured by hair. The gold beads on the rim of the trumpet give a nice little sparkle.

Show and Tell: Granulated Pearl Drop Ear Dangles
Show and Tell: Stars
As mentioned previously, the teapot has inspired some other use of the same technique. Here are three starfish which enjoy the same granular treatment. I've also created them as earrings.
Show and Tell: Japanese Tetsubin, an Iron Teapot
I was fascinated by the hobnail pattern of an old iron teapot that I have and I thought that it might look nice in gold. After a bit of carving, I came up with this miniature. It has inspired some textural work on some earrings as well.
Show and Tell: The Swan Pendant
This is a large swan that I sculpted for a very nice lady. I think that it fits her nicely. It is large and will not be worn unnoticed!

Show and Tell: The Patina
The piece now wears an elegant skin of oxides. I think that the colors really make the rich 22 karat koi come to life. This week, I will make a mounting for it so that it can become a pendant slide.
