The Python Diamond Bayonet Gas Cap
And last but certainly not least on the Functional Jewels that I have yet to offer the public.... moto gas caps.
This style being a Cam Lock (Bayonet style) Vented gas cap. The cap itself is chrome plated steel, and machined by a motorcycle parts distributor to ensure quality part. But the adornments upon it, are my silversmithing creation.
For this piece I have a made a sterling silver diamond pendant, a central diamond of Python shed rests under glass, a thick gauged rope wire edge around it, with high contrast patina to highlight it all.

Slight discoloration on the cap itself is natural, and unavoidable as it was heated, as its an impure/not fine metal. It will look congruent to what you experience on parts of your bike that get heated up with active use.
