A sand cast pin poured as a single openwork flower, six curved petals radiating from an open center. A single turquoise cabochon sits at the middle in a plain bezel, its blue face lightly matrixed against the silver. The cast surface keeps the soft, slightly pitted texture characteristic of sand casting, with a darkened patina settled into the recesses.
