Nice repair job on this beautiful hamsa. The twisted wire on the bezels is unusual.
Thank you Toya, This was my first repair job ever that involved replacing coral. I matched the color and cut the size down and then filed, filed, filed and sanded, sanded, sanded! I thought that this hamsa was unusual due to the of cabochons on it. It also has a silver rosette overlay.
It is lovely, and worth the effort to do the repair. The coral looks identical.
that looks great! You did a wonderful job! Lucky that you had a matching size coral available (or at least almost matching size)!
Very nice, Hillary. I didn't see it in its "before" condition, but it certainly looks very good "after".
Great job! I saw the "after" repair photo first and then looked for the "before". I could not have guessed which coral you replaced...
Have now found "before" as well - and am the more impressed by your success!
