A little alluvial gold dragon circled in shakudo, on an oxidised sterling silver chain with a yellow gold fob.

I was inspired to start this series these when a lovely man dropped in to have the gold he had found melted into bars. What fun!

I grew attached to a few tiny nuggets, and he kindly sold them to me. I have combined them each with shakudo—a Japanese alloy (6% gold, 94% copper)—and am totally in love with these tiny black and gold bits.
