My latest effort uses oxidized and anodized niobium with 24kt gold overlay and Argentium mount. The gold foil is the same used for Keum-boo or diffusion bonding. The first layer is softly hammered onto the burr field (as per Barry Lee Hands tutorial video) and a second layer bonded to that. Fine silver will also work for the damascene layer and further bonding with the silver, saving the final layer of gold for maximum smoothness.
You can still see the burr field with only 2 layers of gold foil. The size is about 2.7" x 1.4" wide.
