Chain Project

Second set of drawings for the Chain with Clasp as Focal Point  project have been submitted and are posted below.  I had trouble with an idea for this project, but was inspired by a piece done previously with similar religious iconography and Middle East influence.  So now I have a "theme" and expect to get a lot of design mileage out it.  (Just kidding Prof. N! )

The two parts are intended to interlock in a flush manner and remain so until actively removed.  I am going to try to carve these out of wax, but they could be fabricated if need be.  I hope to add a bit more texture and dimension with the casting method.

The terminations are planned to be tubular, possibly tapered and integral with the clasp
.
The chain will be choker length and the double loop in loop Etruscan pattern we started as a sampler.

I would like to mount a stone on one half of the clasp and have a small cats-eye chrysoberyl in mind.
