centipede of pearls
Centipede of pearls, 2025 in progress. silver, pearls, eventually a couple sapphires.
​
I was watching a cartoon with living treasure, and there's this lovely tradition of animal jewelry, butterflies, insects and I sort of couldn't believe someone hadn't already done this (or done it well that I could find on the internet). It also seemed like a sort of beautiful joke tennis bracelet and I could already see it in a way that was unusual for me. I haven't finished a head or tail, which will be the clasp. Twice around the wrist, once around the neck​

Those hinges just have temporary pins in to check the movement, fastcap'd pearls. My fingertips are beaten up there, I just needed something that wasn't work work with desperation. A little personal injury
