Trying out Gold Plating

This is the latest pair of earrings in my new hammered and stamped dots style.
I was going to make a small pair of studs, but kept on adding circles until they grew to 1.8 cm in diameter.
I decided to have them gold plated, to see what they would look like. These are so different from anything I have made until now, that I will have to get used to them!
