My 'Little Project', a.k.a. Coronets. Part 2

Baronial Coronets for the
Barony of L'Ile du Dragon Dormant
(CP Tir Mar, East Kingdom)

March 2, 2019, marks the end of my ongoing 'big project' when I was able to present the two baronial coronets I've been working on for the Barony of L'Ile du Dragon Dormant (CP Tir Mar, East Kingdom) at our Baronial Investiture Anniversary. 

These are the first coronets that I've ever made and the largest metalsmithing project I've ever taken on.  

Both coronets are about 4/5ths complete in this photograph. Due to my health issues and hand injury I would have been unable to complete them in time for IDD's Baronial Investiture Anniversary. Olev (Olivier Comeau), another talented Metalsmith, has completed them in time by adding the bottom edge trim and the pearl settings.

My 'Little Project', a.k.a. Coronets

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.
