Crystal Phoenix on Chainmail Choker

This phoenix is hand carved from wax and then cast in sterling silver. Not an ordinary phoenix made of fire but one born of ice and crystal. She carries in her claws a shard of amethyst in a hand fabricated, sterling silver setting. The choker is hand made from .9mm wire. A 4-in-1 chainmail pattern with each link soldered shut for strength.

My Crystals and Ice Chainmail Choker is made from .9mm sterling silver wire. Each ring hand made, placed, and soldered by me into this lovely 4 in 1 chainmail design. Added to the choker are Swarovski crystal beads in clear and blues, freshwater pearls, and quartz crystal points. This design in particular reminds me of clear icy mornings right after a big snowfall, the ice and fresh snow blanketing the world.
