Rat Locket

For my final project, I made a silver locket with a rat on it. The idea came from my cat and from looking at antique lockets with unusual designs.

To make sure the two halves fit together properly, I designed the locket in Rhino and had it cast in silver instead of wax casting to make sure that it will lock properly. After casting, both halves were polished and put together to finish the piece.
