The top dog tag cross is made of sterling silver. I milled and hammered detail on the metal and hand engraved the cross. The top piece has almost a bit of a floral or forest feel to the background. There are some leaf impressions on the piece as well. The detail is also milled on the back. The detail is fine and I may use different size gravers on future pieces. Still, I like the fine lines on these.
The bottom image is a milled silver ingot and I sawed out the cross of sterling silver. The crosses were sweat soldered down. The detail on the front and back of the ingot came out really well. The lines on the crosses aren't all perfect, but this was all done by hand. I really like the top cross with the more angular tips. The bottom cross is more rounded. Ah, everything comes out different all the time!
