Abigail and I attended Rio Grande's Catalog In Motion Show in Tucson over the weekend and it was great. For one of my demonstrations I engraved this pendant. It's an inexpensive nickel silver pendant that GRS sells. After engraving I walked over to Neal Bell who was demonstrating gold plating and had him plate it.

I engraved half of the design and then transferred it to the other side. I wanted an angular space in the center for an initial. The size is 30mm or 1-1/8". She seems to like it.
