A handcrafted brass pendant made with a jeweler’s saw. The play on contrasts shows the crane relaxing on one leg in front of the sun (or the moon, depending on the point of view).

Gorgeous! That looks like so much fun to make! Did you drill holes to start the saw?
It is pretty fun to do, and actually started purely as a hobby; I never thought that I’d ever make things that people are even willing to pay for (and still am surprised they do)!
And yes, I first drill a hole in each “area” and then slide the blade through it. The hard part is for very tiny areas, where the hole itself is almost as big as the area I have to cut out, and I end up having to drill holes of less than 0.5mm without breaking anything!
