Cut the desired shape out of plexiglass (these are leaf shapes)
Use the plexiglass negatives and place them on top of metal in the hydraulic press to create a three-dimentional form.
Anneal the metal so that it will be easier to work with
Form and texture the edges of the shape to make it look more organic.
The texture I created for my "leaves"
Piercing the metal
Soldering process
Praying that the small wire does not melt!
Clean up stage/prepping for the stone to be set
Set stone and clean up finished! Ready to wear!
