Entered my first attempt at jewellery making to my second Queen's King's Prize Tournament! I didn't do as well at last year's, having won the Queen's Choice, but I came away with new connections, resources, and ideas!
What I entered was a 10th century Volga Rus Dukach based on grave descriptions! I found vintage Portuguese Escudo for the coins, and the various supplies I used came from Fire Mountain Gems. My source book I used was Iuliia Stepanova's book, The Burial Dress of the Rus' in the Upper Volga Region (Late 10th-13th Centuries)
