A sterling silver domed overlay Hummingbird pendant I created for my mother-in-law. The disc started out just barely over 1″ in diameter (I traced the outline from one of my dog’s old tags I had laying around), and pierced the overlay using a 6/0 saw blade.
Above is another collage picture of the Hummingbird overlay pendant showing work-in-progress stages with the pattern glued onto the overlay piece, the top pierced piece and base layer sweat-soldered together, doming on the dapping block, the bale and jump ring ready to be soldered on, and the finished piece after oxidizing and final polishing.
