Here's the second iteration of Lucian's Pendant inspired by the Underworld movies. As before,this is not meant to be a replica but rather an interpretation. The central stone on this one is a jade sphere. I made a pretty good set of hot punches this week so both sides are ornamented differently but this is the side I prefer (just now). I may post the other side at a later date.
Notice there are 4 welds on either side which hold the stone setting in. Last thing I did was give it the heat patina with the torch, circumnavigating the piece, focusing the heat on the extreme edge all the way around so it wouldn't ruin the stone.
I had no one to model this piece this morning so have draped it upon my bronze sculpture of Opehlia.She seemed to smile at the unexpected attention...

Hot punched and welded stainless steel-1, 7/8ths diameter

note:
Jade is very forgiving as regards heat.
I would not have attempted that final reheating to color it had it been some other stone or glass...
