18k pendant with diamonds

For project #2 I wanted to use a different method than casting to make something sparkly. So I thought it would be cool to do a bit of forging. I plan to use this hammer to turn...

This sheet of 18k white gold into...

This pendant! If I use the sharp end of the hammer and start at the center and rotate the piece as I hammer I should get a really nice pattern to come out. The hammering will also turn the flat sheet into a low dome, creating a really pleasant soft look and feel
