Working on my dandelion idea when this design came into my head.
Below is a pix of when I was soldering the discs onto the pendant...from the back. The back was domed... so to "fill" the front while I was soldering I placed a few nickles in the cavity along with some ceramic fiber...this held the dics's in place while I soldered. Notice the 3rd hand and the nickles are also holding down the piece. :-)
The next picture is the finished piece. Made of Argentium silver, 18 karat bi-gold and 14 karat gold. (Specifically 22 gauge silver on frame and backing, back was roll printed once, for texture. Round 20 gauge-14 karat wire for center of "dandelion".)
