My Narrative Pendant

Moments in Time

Dimensions:2.8x2.8 in.

copper and brass

riveting, chasing & repousse, piercing, and etching

The pendant is to represent events important to me that lead to my engagement. Each date is expressed in roman numerals. Behind each key hole reveals a date. The central shape is a dharma wheel which represents a lifetime. The chasing on the back symbolizes a ring.
I am pleased with my pendant, even more so after I changes the patina. I think that the keys and the etching works well with my piece. As always I struggled a little bit with the finishing. If I find the right long chain or make one, I probably will wear it.
My peer critique was benefitial and helpful for me. I agreed with the comments and took them into consideration.
