This piece is sterling silver and 23K gold. Traditionally inlays like this were done with abalone shell, which is indigenous to my area. It has taken me a while to get the idea how to use the gold inlay technique effectively with this style of engraving. I see now that engraving on the inlaid gold adds a lot to the effectiveness of the process. I have been thinking that wire inlay on the edges may work well and I want to try that in future pieces.
FYI, I learned to do gold inlay be following the post on this forum, thanks guys
