Brocade Locket
For the creating of this piece, I use a very special technique
called chasing and repousse. It is not stamped out of a mold, but it is
rather hand-drawn on the piece by me. Then, I use a series of
chisel-shaped tools and a hammer to draw the lines into the metal.
Working fromt he back, I use rounded tools to push out the design,
creating three-dimensions. The repousse panel is 18K gold sheet
surrounded by a blackened silver frame and an asymmetrical filigree
accent. The repousse pattern is inspired by the designs found in Chinese
silk brocade.
