I debated whether to list this as jewelry or metalwork, since it's essentially both. The piece is about miscarriage, something it seems too many of my friends have been through in recent years. The vial in the picture contains real blood (from a cow) although it no longer does in reality. I found out that it's illegal to exhibit it if it has real blood in it- or at least to ship it out to galleries- because it's classified as a bio-hazard. So now it has "faux" blood. The cradle exterior is etched & fabricated copper while the interior mattress, blanket & cap on the pendant are chased & repoused sterling silver. The chain is fine silver & is handmade.

It's a creepy little piece.
