Brooch Setting Development

After setting the ceramic tiles on the brooch, I found that on the front view, the three claws appeared less delicate and visually redundant and pointless.

In order to accentuate the image even more and eliminate unnecessary visual elements, I tried to simplify away the structure of the claws and replaced them with copper discs glued directly to the reverse side of the ceramic tiles with resin. After trying it this way I found it to be very strong as well.
