I made this piece in my Jewelry Concepts class in 2012. It is a kinetic piece. The lid is die formed then enameled and is held on with tap and die screws. The inside has two enameled flames that hang on a small chain. It is mean to be playful and precious at the same time, which is why I've made it with enamels. — I made this piece in my Jewelry Concepts class in 2012. It is a kinetic piece.
