setting and shank

The setting is very similar to that of the pendant. I moulded the long claws so that they echoed the shape of the coral and fit snug into some sections. The forge marks left on the setting and shank is deliberate. Like most things in nature that are formed/affected by their natural surroundings, I would like to think that the hammer and plier marks that remain on my pieces show the journey of the manufacturing process.
