Silver dragon with 18kyg/garnet eye pin/brooch

sterling silver dragon with garnet set in 18kyg bezel brooch. 
 
This piece was the end product of a metalsmithing class that I attended.  We poured molten silver into a bucket of water, and had to make something of what landed at the bottom of the bucket.  This, to me, was obviously a dragon brooch, especially with the gnarley little tentacle under his eye.....
