    This is a necklace I made in my metals class, and I think it's the best piece of jewelry I've ever made. I made everything but the stone, I cut every single link for the chain and soldered it, and I cut the pendant (which my teacher thought to be a ninja throwing star at first) out and soldered all that, and it took for goddamn ever, I probably worked for a total of about 30-40 hours on it. I'm making up an art portfolio for some college classes I want to take, and want to include at least 3 metals pieces in it, along with my paintings, drawings, and screen printing.

    What do you guys think of it, think it's worthy to show as a representation of myself?

    That is very impressive, well done! Did you carve the hieroglyphs yourself?

    Nah I bought the thing that way, was only $2 too :) It's fairly cheap plastic, but is somewhat old, before I set it I looked at the back and it said "Produced in West Germany."

    That's really nice, I actually really like it.:) It would be nice if the plastic centerpiece was made of Onyx.:tongue:

    Do you know what the hieroglyphs mean?

    Thank you :) my original idea for it was onyx, but I found that instead, and it was unique so I went with that instead. (Not to mention it was a hell of a lot cheaper)

    I found the centerpiece in a little store called "Knot Just Beads" here in Milwaukee. They carry really unique things at prices that art students can afford, so I go there often now that I'm in these classes. For the other 2 pieces I'm currently working on, I bought all my supplies there, stones included, for less than $15...

    And I'm planning on looking up what the hieroglyphs mean, but as of right now I don't know...

    My brother is a student in hieroglyphs. If you could get a clearer shot of them, perhaps he could tell you.

    Thanks Dapablo :) (I'm sorry to call you by that, but I don't know your real name!)

    And Matt, I'll steal my dad's camera someday soon and take a clear picture of it. Thanks for the help, I'm really curious now...
