Inspired by a delicate Phaelanopsis orchid, I created this piece from a combination of .999 fine silver and .925 sterling silver.  It can be used as a decorative piece of art on a table and can also be worn on a choker or chain as a pendant.  The flower is held up by a silver wire stem that is attached to a forged leaf.  The sculpted orchid center was textured by compressing the silver into a piece of cotton lace in my rolling mill.
