Learning inlay - pendant project

[Adder]

Hi again forumfriends.

As usual, it`s been awhile since I`ve done any engraving. Christmas it`s on it`s way, so while try to learn gold inlay, I went for making a pendant for my wife for christmas.

This time I also have got fantastic help while cutting(e-mails between us) from Master engraver Roger Ronnie during prosess.

With my lack of skills, this was a challenge, but it turned out okey I think. Here is some progrespictures.
The border is 0,5mm wide, rest is done with 0,25 mm wire.

Hope you like it

Have a wonderful christmas folks

Thank you so much for all the great comments guys. Good for my confidence to get good feedback from experts in this forum, and Monk, I hope I get a hug or two with or without monogram. Maybe I can cut one on it, but not the next couple of days

Another quick picture of the piece with a coin 20cents euro(aprox 22mm wide), so you can get det idea of the size

Merry Christmas everyone
