A new crown with copper and real 24k gold inlays. Beautiful orange and white CZ diamonds add some sparkle.
Enjoy!

Congrats!

What is the base material?

Now I saw it's copper

. Beautiful color...

Actually, the base material is solid 416 Grade Stainless Steel....highly polished.
Those color bands are pure copper and pure 24K gold wire inlays.
The stones are colored CZ's.

...and thanks for the kind remarks!

I think what really touches me is the contrast between the Stainless Steel and the silver tube.
This is the same impression I get from my silver headjoint with a zirconium crown from Robert Biggio.
But the gems! Stunning work! Congrats!

Thanks! Another thing might be the weight. I made these solid and they are about 0.50 oz.
The silver crowns I've used as dimensional models are 0.32 oz.
Shouldn't make a tonal difference because of the cork isolation.
