It's Fall again. Leaves are turning. Branches will soon be bare. Perfect time to revisit the Out On a Limb Series.

This broach was  cast in sterling using the lost wax method. I soldered 3, 4 and 5 mm tube settings to the "twig"  then set them with raspberry garnets and an amethyst. Then I fabricated and soldered the bezels before setting them with boulder opals.

Here I combined a Chinese writing rock set in sterling bezel with  gold chain and  lost wax cast sterling twig. The  20" necklace was made from  freshwater pearls.
