The genuine article this time. Tie Tack. 13/13.

Spotty Tie Tack. Sterling silver with copper inlay.

After making a fair hand of my attempt at inlay with yesterday's "Tie Pin",  I decided to have another go, in a different style, and also to make an actual tie pin. It's one of the tie tack/lapel pin kind, with a single pin and a clutch back. It came out reasonably well, though in retrospect, I should have started with a thicker base sheet of silver. I'm learning as I go along. Tomorrow's piece is already on the go, having been worked in tandem with this one.

  1. Nice. Looks a bit like a Southern Cross.

  2. Nice and simple, with added interest from the copper, like the tie pin.
