Two Suns - Necklace

Pendant necklace on a 30" rolo chain.Sterling silver, vitreous enamel, 23.5k gold.Hand painted, torch fired, etched, hand fabricated.The inscription on the bezel reads, "Well, shit. There goes that." An extinction level astroid hurtles toward a sleeping city. I created this enameled scene by "painting" with powdered glass with tiny brushes and needles, then I fired it with a torch to permanently fuse the image to the metal.This piece is part of my Tiny Catastrophes series, a collection of limited edition, one-of-a-kind memento mori pieces that explore the fragility of life and our desire to prevent, explain, and control the uncontrollable.
