Components of a jewelry design layout, including a cool colored focal gemstone, pieces of silver wire, gold flowers, tiny silver leaves and pieces of cut silver tubing to thread all the pieces onto a necklace chain once finished. Everything is set onto a soldering board which has been discolored from jewelers torch usage.
