Phoenix Crown by ~Ari-Usni. After reading the artist's LiveJournal, I am even more impressed with the chasing and repoussé work that she accomplished on this crown. Modeled after a 10th-century diadem from Pakistan, hinged, and with four 10mm lapis lazuli cabochons and countless freshwater pearls, the total weight is remarkably light, only 5.5oz (.155kg)!

Is there enough of god left,

to dance up more life than your fragile ego can stand?
:iconrjupiter:

:iconmetal-bender:
Wow!! This is great! I'm really impressed with the brass repousse - not the easiest metal for this technique.
:iconari-usni:
Thank you. I had heaps of fun with the project and learned a great deal in the process. Glad you like it.

This makes me SO JAZZED to learn repousse in my Jewelry class. Probably won't happen until Fall semester, since the one other woman at my same level really wants to do stone setting and enameling, first, and so do I, but this is.. so gorgeous. Wonderful!
