Just finished and mailed to their new home, this new initial necklace with matching copper earrings. Each letter was sawn out by hand from copper discs that I punch out using my Swanstrom disc cutter. (I love this tool by the way!) I cut the sterling discs the same way and give them a hammered finish before soldering the two together. I do a bit of darkening of the recessed areas and then some polishing. Then it is ready for a protective coating. It is a non toxic coating that will help the metal from tarnishing. Once it has dried I then attach them to sterling silver chain hand finished with a lobster clasp.
