Here is a commisioned gold Rose pendant set with a Rhodolite garnet. The leaves are 18ct white gold.
This flower is made from an instructive video that is available here and was made by an excellent metalsmith Luis. F. Moreno. Check the benchtube videos out.
They are a wonderment.
This is an 18ct ring set with a blue tourmaline and two diamonds.
With an African flavour.

The Dino War Machine continues with breathtaking pace. This is my latest Steam punk project.

Don’t kid yourself, it might be looking like a headless chicken right now, but just wait.
This is only the chassis.

Check those evil feet out.
The red stuff is just the iron plating out on the brass when it is quenched in an acid solution after soldering. I can get rid of it by adding hydrogen peroxide to my acid, which consists of sodium-bi sulfate but it makes the brass all crishy and I don’t like that.
It is a mission to polish then and I will remove this at a later stage of manufacture mechanically.
All the guns and plasma cannons and phase disrupting devices will be added after the head and tail are manufactured.
The sides are going to have glass port holes and the inside will have lights inside.
The back is going to have energy conducting spines.
And a phased array of syncro conducing replicators.
These are the power generators of this machine, once it is finished being crafted by my hands and I declare it fully born and released to this world.
It goes without saying that it will protect the world from death and destruction.
Coming to a computer near you soon.

I love that rose - that is a great video. On my list to try sometime…yours turned out really well - no surprise there!
Love the dino- can’t wait to see it progress! You could do a book with all of these cool steam punk creations.
