I am getting ready to inlay a flower by using both green and yellow gold. I want the leafs to be green gold, and the center to be yellow. The base material is sterling silver, the green gold is 14k, and the yellow gold is 24k.
My question is how to do this. I can think of two ways.
1 - Cut out the entire flower, raise some burls, and under cut the outer edges. Then inlay the entire flower in green gold, then cut out the center and inlay the yellow gold.
2 - Cut out the center, raise some burls, inlay the yellow gold. Cut out the leafs, raise some burls, inlay the green gold.
For you people who have done this type of multi-color gold inlay, how would you recommend doing it?
Thanks
Mike
