Well, so I didn't finish that comet pin yet. Lots of things got in the way, like a week in Ireland studying Celtic Chasing. I will post some examples of that later.

It is Sterling Silver with 24 kt. Gold foil applied using the technique of Keum Boo, fusing the foil to the surface using heat and pressure. In addition, the Phoenix is chased into the surface with small chisels and punches. For a more complete description, visit the auction listing.
