Dragon Pendant with 450 Stones

(Bucharest, Romania, Europe)

This is a 14k gold, 5cm diameter pendant I've made being inspired by some masterpiece in the domain.

It was a challenge for me to do this, as the pendant has 450 stones on it. The masterpiece has 500.

The structure is a white gold hollow circle and the Dragon itself is made piece by piece and soldered, then set together in the hollow ring (circle).

I have to solve the problem of mounting and dismounting, because I love to make jewelry which can be dismounted to see the details.

And sometimes soldering pieces together it is like taking their personality and transforming them into a cast item, which is not always a necessary elaborated, highly dificulty piece.
