Pendant

My galaxy.

It looks a lot more scratched in the photo but it's really very shiny. Completely made in sterling silver.

School projects.

This year I started a two year university program in gemology, goldsmithing and gemstone engineering.

I've almost fininshed 1/4 of the program and this is the practical things I've done so far.

Three cabochon cut stones. Quartzite, serpentine and marble. I made these for the course in cabochon cutting but I've also cut many other stones.

A silver ring for the first part of the gold/silver smithing course. It's not my own design. Made to specific measurements as part of the course.

A pendant I'm working on for the goldmithing course. It's shaped like a galaxy but it's not finished yet. I might make a collection of this design later.

So far it's been a great experience to be a university student although I live far from campus. I've moved to Lannavaara in the far north of sweden. I've seen huge auroras and lots of reindeer and even with the cold it's pretty awesome.

I feel like this is what I'm supposed to to with my life for the moment. :)
