Wonder how it would look not you put stone in the circle of the Ankh ?

Overall designs are excellent. Look like they could be artifacts.

Very nice. Love the hammered texture on the middle ring.

I like those! I especially like how you finished the applique edges so well it blends into the plate metal. Looks like a lot of work, but the effect is very nice.

How thick is your base sterling? These are just beautiful.

Great work! Over here in the UK using brass would kill the chance of getting these hall-marked and using gold would only enable a silver hallmark (or mixed metals). You can see how that doesn’t encourage creativity! In each case the opportunity to describe the higher quality metal is lost unless the material is under the threshold weight.

Something I am working on. Texture hides the issues. Vic I have issues with all soldering . Really, sometimes it takes seconds, sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes nothing happens at all. I guess it is an art.
