Description: 14 carat gold over silver.

Jurors' Comments: (unanimous decision) High quality craftsmanship was evident to all jurors in this entry. The use of silver to set off the color of the gold complemented the use of the matte finish to highlight the polished gold metal. In all respects the workmanship was seen as "perfect" and a remark was made regarding the difficulty of soldering as evidenced in this piece.
