Fine Jewellery Pendant

First task of our final module.
Fell at the first hurdle, trying to be a smart arse.
Assumed I could cut the gallery from sheet, rather than form from wire.
Ended up with shorter edge from which to cut the wire, than everyone else.

Very luckily, there was JUST enough.

Really enjoy a jour cutting. Find it relaxing.
However, because I did World Skills last year, I have done about 5 days of it, rather than some people for whom this is their first attempt.

Got a "top banana" from Sue, which I consider the highest praise :-D

Final material wastage value of 6%. Not great. Industry standard is 2-4%.
