Pashtun gold-foil wrapped solid silver neck ring. It's done in two stages: first, a thick silver torque is hammered, then fired till it's dull. After that, the gold foil is hammered straight onto the silver while the metal is still warm, so it bonds. No solder, just pressure and heat. They only do this for daughters when they marry, or for a boy on his first hunt. Since every family has their own smith, each ring looks alike yet no two are the same. The name engraved is that of the groom's or the bride's father's. Means this is mine but I am giving it away.

The indigo traces is done by heating the gold foil just enough so it's soft, not molten, then presses it with a bone tool so it sinks in. Then a quick flash of the torch, enough to fuse without burning. The pigment seals itself, becomes part of the gold.
