I have absolutly no experiance or knowlage on jewlery design or making, but my question is about the engraving method. Wouldnt it have been easier to engrave the mettal after it was pressed, while still flat, as opposed to doing it after it was rounded, as I assume would have to be the case if it was cast. Anyone have an opinion or knowlage on this?
No doubt engraving on a flat/open surface is much easier than on a formed ring.
I personally verified it when an old and very experienced engraver of my town did the job in my SSHR to wear.
