Abstract Clockwork Pendant

for some crazy reason this small pendant looks like a monster in profile to me - a cartoon monster whose name I don't remember. Anyway, there is a gorgeous amethyst set in sterling silver dangling down, and one of those tiny little purple-red jewels as well. There is a depth to the varnish that helps hold the big balance wheel in place - yes its glued as well but here the varnish makes the brass behind the gear glow. (there must be around six layers or so to get the effect).

 

On the watch part it says: "Swiss Made". I suppose that means "Canadian Remade". As well the penny gives a viewer an idea of just how delicate this piece is.
