Today I soldered a base on each side of the locket. The dome on the left has a flat base, and the one on the right has a circle cut out, which will eventually frame a photo. I also drilled a hole in the top dome, where I'll later set an orange citrine.

The making of a locket
I have been commissioned to make a locket for a friend's mother. Here are the first two steps. I cut 2 circles of sterling silver sheet with a jewelers hand saw and filed the edges. Second, I formed the circles into domes with dapping punches, and filed the bottom so that they will lay flat. Stay tuned for updates!
