An odd inlays

[Karol]

A few years ago, my dear, older Sister has requested me to make wedding rings.
It was hard and dangerous challenge...
The date of wedding was 24.
So on each ring (strong, red gold) were two twigs with 24 leaves (each different, from yellow gold) and 24 fruits (white).
Of course everything was finally hammer down. The fully pattern appears about thirty years time.

This was the first inaly work for me, ever.

























My working conditions then, I did not have even a engraving ball vise...Crazy times!

Oh yes! I exactly remember that day - when I bought it...
I watched the whole day all the flies, worms and leaves!
I know that leica or zeiss will be better but...

I usually use 8* or 16* magnification.
I made two LED torch (3W each, XP-G Cree) for it, very good working.

And some words about ball vise.
Even presently I am using only those gnomes. Extremely cheap and simple tools (steel bowls filled with buckshots and flooded with gypsum) fit in your hand completely, for many works are great.

And again. GRS is better but...
