Story behind the piece:  This is a 25" necklace with sterling paperclip chain, cold connected with saltwater peach pearls. The medallion, using Phil Baldwins Mokume, is formed and soldered onto a textured sterling back plate.

I was glad to have taken a class from Anne Wolfe before I made these pieces. It is tricky to work with and you need to not overwork it or get it too hot as it can melt.
Less is more with this material. It is so beautiful that a simple piece is the best way to show it off.
