Remembering the Sea

Red sponge coral and freshwater cultured pearl combined with sterling silver. Hand chased bezel in pure silver.

I made a little pin. This piece of coral has been waiting for a setting. I decided to make a special bezel for it, with a swirl design. It looked a little too lonely, so I added a fat little pearl. 

Stippled texture covers the background metal, like ripples under water.

Overall, I added a stippled texture, like the bottom of the ocean floor. 

The pin on back is handmade from brass, which is stronger than sterling silver.

It's just a little pin, just 3/4 inch high.  I call it Remembering the Sea.
