LapidaryElk ivory
First time poster, great website.
I've been a jeweler, professionally, for a little over 10 years now. I tried my hand at scrimshaw a couple of months ago. Here are a couple of elk's teeth I turned into pendants. What do you think, any critiques or comments welcome, good, bad, or otherwise. I'm not sure how big they will look on screne, they were sized to 800x600 and may be too large. The first was from a friend, I made a cap for the tooth from sterling and set a small citrine in it. The second is one I made up for stock, it is 14k with .17ct diamonds. The bail on the gold one was purchased, the rest is done by hand.
