Gentlemen,
I thought this would be interesting to post since it's nice to know how these things are put together/made.
The following was taken from a commercial site; otherwise I'd just post a link...
This is how Japanese awards are made. I believe it's not that much different from how Russian awards are made...
Either way you'll get the general idea...
1. Impressing - Silver plates are mechanically impressed with the design of the master die.
Trimming - Unneeded portions are trimmed with a fret saw.
Filing - The blank is finished by filing.
Glazing - The impressed blank is glazed with enamels.
Baking - Enamel is baked in an electric furnace.
Buffing - The enamelled piece is polished by buffing to improve its lustre.
Plating - Gold is plated on the required portion.
Assembling - All components are inspected and the order is assembled.
