adding to Pheather's replies, a silver dipping solution sold at many jewelry stores (~$4) will clean all the small areas the cloth can't reach as long as you didn't use soft stones such as malachite or turquoise in your designs.  Placing your pieces in a ziplock bag will keep air away from them, and polishing will be a majorly infrequent chore.

very excellent

now that's inventive!  The color combination is beautiful.  The materials you used to construct it aren't going to hold up over time since metal saws at thread (if that is in fact thread) but hey, you can just remake it if it breaks!  It's that gorgeous!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the warhol picture!  What a sweet face.  I think the way you arranged that one up is spectacular.

Thank you all so much!  I was debating whether to bezel it ir not, but I wanted to see as little silver on the front as possible.
It is not heavy at all.  The china is 1.5 inches by 1 inch.

I dug up a lot of broken china from a centuries old farm my friend owns.  I thought this shard should be showcased instead of cemented in a mosaic.  I made a sterling silver cage to house it.  I'm working on another one now with more silver filigree on it.

pretty?  The china is stained with rust in some spots, it really adds character.

I'm just learning myself.  I wonder if the weight of the skulls would be a little hard to compensate for.  I have some hair sticks with what looks to be those skulls and they are a bit heavy.

actually if they're made out of resin, they are probably light, no?

FAWK!  THAT is such TALENTED WORK!  The design around the room fixtures is superb and your painting speaks for itself!!!  How did that come about?  You must have had a good idea about what she/he wanted?  This is just too spectalular.  God, that hammerhead...

I am in love with her face!!!  <3 what is ACEO of you will pardon my ignorance?

Your finishing skills appear to be very good! I like them both, especially the earrings.  Loving the silver.
