My latest custom order - Preserved Gold Cross

This is my latest custom jewellery item that I finished last week. A lady wanted her broken gold cross preserved into a resin pendant. The cross is over 70 years old and very fragile, so as you could imagine I had to take special care with this one.

This is the cross before I started to work on it...

And this is the cross embedded into a teardrop pendant. It has been finished with a 9ct gold 8mm jump ring...

What a beautiful way to preserve a piece with sentimental value!
