Made from Doming Silver Sheet

Making a silver locket does entail a considerable amount of skill and expertise as not only must both halves fit exactly over one another, but also the hinges have to be crafted from silver. Making hinges from silver is technically challenging and can take quite a few attempts to get right. The main part of making silver lockets is to start with cutting two identical sized discs from silver sheet. Those discs are then placed onto a wooden block that has the concave dome shape that you want for the locket. Press the sheet into the block and then lightly hammer the silver into shape. Start at the edges and work your way to the centre. After making the two dome halves you then have to make a silver bearing plate which looks like a large circle. This forms the inner frame of the locket and must be welded onto the dome section. You then have to weld in the bail ring onto the base domed half as well as attaching the hinges.
