Etched Silver Ball with gold

This silver ball is versatile with how it can be worn not only because of its mixed silver and gold but can be worn either on a long chain which will supplied with it or a shorter chain so it hangs just below collar. \n \nMaking this was a pleasure as it took me back to my silversmithing days as some of the skills it required I had learnt then. Cutting two circles out is silver the same and doming them. Before I soldered the two halves together I etched a pattern in to the silver using acid and then to highlight this I have used a gold wash. \n \nThe ball measures 15mm includes a fine silver chain
