I've seen most of your work now (at least what you put online) and while I'm always using words like "cool", "impressive", "awesome" and "creative". This is the first piece I've ever wanted to call "beautiful". Very nice work!
Nice. One of my faves from you, I think. You might also have hit on a fun fashion/costume niche... I'm thinking of the ornamental/ceremonial (small enough to be non-functional as armor) gorgets that continued to be work by officers for a time bleeding into that Steampunk likes to emulate.
