Sliver and peridot locket on a ribbon necklace
Silver and garnet locket with a ribbon necklace. The design for this pattern is based on Watered Steel or Damascus Steel of the 1700. The steel was often used in weaponry of the time. I etched the pattern directly into the silver then chemically treated the surface to change the colour. I'm currently reading The Confusion by Neal Stephenson which inspired me to look further into the mysterious Watered Steel.
