Sphinx ‘Door Knocker’ pendant

So this wild thing is going to be a large pendant (but it is not yet all put together in this photo). I carved a 3D portrait of the sphinx cat, the center piece will be set with diamonds, then the lower piece has a gorgeous moonstone held in place with claws. 19K rose gold and 18K yellow gold.

Something about the photos on the little wooden box remind me of Han Solo in Carbonite: “Oooh, they’ve encased him in Carbonite! He should be quite well protected, if he survived the freezing process, that is…”

    WOW! We have 2 Sphinx’s and they look just like the one you’ve created! I was in Paris last year and went into an art gallery and there was an oil painting of a young woman holding a Sphinx. They’re everywhere these days!
