Clockwork Calico Pendant - 15 Jewels

Description

Another one of my clockwork calico pendants, this one with an interesting chunk of a watch movement in place of the usual cogs and gears. The pendant is about an inch and a half tall, and the fact that the curve of the watch piece matched the curve of the cat's back was, like a lot of the things that work best, pure accident.

The title refers to the writing on the watch piece. For those of you who haven't spent a lot of time doing google searches trying to learn what all these nifty watch pieces ARE, "jewels" in watches are little chips of synthetic corundum (gemstone, usually red) inside the sockets that hold the spindles of the different cogs and gears. It lets the spindles turn without a lot of friction; the more jewels in the mechanism, the higher quality the watch. I hadn't even realized until I took this photograph how appropriate the number was for a pendant shaped like a cat. Fifteen jewels, and only six of them are visible on the watch part; I'll let you figure out the significance of the other nine.
