We were learning to combine bronze and steel in jewelry pieces at the workshop I attended.  The piece on the bottom is not quite finished yet - more on it another day.  

The circular-ish piece (I shall call it a sponge) is made from steel and bronze, with holes carved in the bronze to match my coral reef beads.  The steel is darkened to obtain the beautiful contrast in colours.  

I think it goes fantastically with my beads!
