I didn't know you were a JEWELER? Super job! My little half reale sucks compared to this.

Looks Great LIR!! Did you have it done? And if so how much.... Always nice to have a find you can wear yourself.

That's awesome, story behind it?

Nice job!! But it is technically not a bezel mount, it is more of a prong mount.

I made the bezel myself. Took 2 try's but I got it then. First one but next time we'll be better.
Didn't find it though was giving to me in a barter. 1650's so I'm loving wearing it.
Has certificate of authenticity also.
Treasure hunters down here dug it up.
Ship wreck treasure!

After countless hours of researching, finally confirmed the 8 Reale's shield and Cross combo to find the actual coins full mint / stamp.
Thought I'd share the info

That is awesome! Tons of respect for doing it yourself! Great work.

I used to work with stained glass. In the future, I would find lead based solder and use a soldering iron. It conforms more specifically to the dimensions and eliminates the empty spaces between silver and mounting metal.

Thanks.
It was my first one and used sterling silver. I agree I could have gotten it tighter and maybe next time or I'll redo it but wanted to keep it silver on silver.
Lead is not my first choice as it's not a great material to have against the skin or contaminating the shop area.
Those fumes are nasty, respirator or not. Just happy to have some ship wreck treasure around my neck
