Firstly, a strip (1” wide) of 16K gold was gilded in a 2 o’clock and 8 o’clock position with 23K gilded around the rest of the ring. After the gild was dry, a glass brush was used to delicately scratch off the gild forming a “shaded” transition (clear glass) between the 16K and the 23K areas. This clear area was then water gilded with 18K gold and the entire ring was baked up.
