MICHAEL DANIEL'S COLLECTION
MD goldsmiths have developed a proprietary combination of heat, pressure, forging, and carving to produce the bold MD patterns. Their process of solid-state diffusion bonding starts with making their own alloys, including the 18K golds, as well as the dark and light contrast layers. This gives them a stable billet with crisp, clear layers of the different metals, and provides fine control of color balances. It also helps prevent melting during bonding, and delamination later.
