figure 3

figure 4

figure 5

this was the pierced out pattern in figure 3,4,5 ,i thought i would use to make a ring, using the garnet as a set stone,the colour looks like the colour of a new mehndi stain. 

figure 6

i think attaching the chain to the pierced piece looks like they belong together but with a different stone. A citrine as shown in figure 7,8,9 .now looks like the colour of the mehndi stain fading.
