"Crystal Echoes"
Final project for my Intro to Jewelry class. The piece had to include a bronze cast element. I chose to do a combination of splash casting and broom casting where the straw bundle is submerged right below the surface of the water so the resulting casting is more rounded than a normal broom casting. There are three separate pieces of cast bronze soldered together to create the centerpiece. I also used wire construction to fabricate the chain. Amethyst is set in the broom casting.
