Stunning - matching silver pendant and earrings

STERLING SILVER: Just finished these off today in the studio.

I had been thinking about working in silver but it's just so expensive if you make a mistake! However, I bit the bullet & decided to make a few test pieces in sterling silver as they look so pretty.

PENDANT: I used the drill with a burr to make the shiny surface and then created the negative space with the jeweller's saw and added leaves with a stamp just on the one side for a summer scene and left the other side as a winter scene with snowflakes.

EARRINGS: As these are much smaller, I just used the winter scene design on these.
