Then I lined a shallow doming block with soft leather and carefully worked the face into a domed shape.... moreThanks, Trish. The setting is Argentium. I hammered 24 gauge first, then pierced the design, then soldered on a 22 gauge bezel and finished it. Then I lined a shallow doming block with soft leather and carefully worked the face into a domed shape. Then I etched fine silver, cut it to fit, domed it to match, and enameled it. This is a two-sided piece...continued on "Leonardo, Other Side"

This is a great piece Vera, how did you set your enamel into the bezel? Is is fine silver or sterling silver and what gauge?
