Hidden Gems

Fran from year 2 CAA enjoys detail and and working on a very small scale. After being inducted on the lathe she set out to make a complex container to demonstrate her new found skills.

Twenty-six machined brass components make up the vessel which has twelve Cubic Zirconia gemstones hidden within. On first inspection only a few of the secret gems are revealed, and only with prior knowledge or detailed instructions can all the stones be found. Many hours of precise turning went into creating this beautifully crafted puzzle.
