My first gold project.

Working with gold has been something I have been wanting to try for a long time but just couldn't bring myself to pay the going prices so I turned to my jewelry box to see if there was anything I could recycle! To my surprise I found several things that where in need of repair and would cost more to have fixed then they originally cost. Off to the melting pot i went with my treasures. To my delight I ended up with a nice sized ingot in which to play with!

14K Gold, Fine Silver & Smoky Quartz
For my first project I decided to go ahead and use fine silver for my step bezel. I think it actually turned out pretty nice!
