Some time ago I began a project to fabricate two Baronial coronets for my Barony as my largesse. The materials were paid for from various fund raising activities and I would craft them.
Just one of them is multiple times larger than anything I fabricated before as a Goldsmith and an entirely different design than body jewelry. I've been learning a great deal since starting this project: etching, different ways to rivet than I originally learned years ago, and working with Nickle Silver.
Once they are presented in early March I will be able to published my progress pictures as well as final pictures of them.
UPDATE: Both coronets are now complete.
