The BezelWorks Pendant involves the creation and management of a set of "anatomical" parts. The challenges are many, and include creating a piece where each individual component is enhanced when brought together, but does not overwhelm. The Center Piece must maintain its sense of focal point, yet not dominate the other elements to the point where they are immaterial, or less important, to an appreciation of the whole finished piece.
