Marquise Series: Bracelet 3 (2009) Sterling silver, copper, fine silver Constructed, cold-joined L 16.8 cm x W 1.1 cm For this piece, I took the idea developed in Week 48 and extended it to a bracelet.

Marquise Series: Pendant 4 (2009) Sterling silver Constructed, cold-joined L 3.6 cm x W 1.6 cm Here is one more variation in sterling silver. The original idea was to add a 2 mm Swarovski crystal, similar to what I did in the Week 47 project, but I ended up deciding against it. Pin it
Marquise Pendant: Pendant 3 (2009) Sterling silver, fine silver, Swarovski crystal Constructed, cold-joined L3.5 cm x W 1.6 cm Lots of playing going on!
