This weeks theme for the Year of Jewelry challenge is "Beach Scene" or "Coral Reef." I have been working on this pendant for several nights. It spent 3 nights in the "Naughty" pile. It was really frustrating.

The main part of the pendant is a cold connection piece and is actually rather neat if I don't say so myself. It is made with two silver sheets with a 1" disc cut out of the center. Sandwiched in between the silver is a copper mesh sheet. The pendant is then cold connected with four tube rivets.

The rest of the necklace is made with sterling silver and copper. The beads used in this piece are glass, sterling silver, copper and ceramic covered in fine silver and copper.

This necklace is really different from the other things that I have done in the past. When I looked at the colors it reminds me of the ocean and beach. This was a fun piece to make.

As always, comments and suggestions are always welcome.
