Hi everyone!
I carved the agate and inlaid the gold. It was for the first time in my country. The ring is silver and all the engraving patterns belong to the Ancient Persia.
It was one of those really difficult projects! :chip::hammer:

That is an amazing job Ali, and not very easy I can tell. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.
I can imagine a happy client wearing that

Monk,
Thank you my friend. I use my handmade hammers which are really light and I have practiced and studied about this job for about 5 years.

The difficulties certainly are huge, since the simpler tools. however i think that the value of the work, good work is very big. congratulations.

well, sir--- that seems to prove that "practice makes perfect". good idea for beginners to take note of this.
