The "Golden Seal" Help. Options

Alright, so in about two weeks, to the beginning of december I'm planning to go have the seal of asmoday, with the pentagram of solomon made on the other side at my local jewelry shop...Now, watching videos, and looking at shops , the disks are about 4"x4", and I refuse to buy a 4"x4" disk of 14kt gold plus engraving. SO, would it be acceptable to to have it made just around 1"x1"? Like a pendant? I know some people will just say you can use parchment, but if you're going to do something, might as well do it right ;-). I'm planning on having other sigils made, copper, silver, tin, etc, but since I'm no adept on goetic spirits, I figured I'd ask a place where there are. Thank you.

I recommend the Peterson version of the Goetia btw, closest to the original.
1" is just fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I make gold seals out of 1" gold discs. I also sell 1", 1.5" and 2" gold discs for folks to engrave their own, as well as do engraving for people. However just getting a jewlery place to do it might be less expensive. The little booths in the mall often have good deals (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I can etch a seal into a 1" disc but it does take talent, and one has to draw the design in pen first. A diamond point etching pen is excellent for this. They are manual so that you can get it exact. I also have and work with silver discs, copper, lead etc. etc. Most of my discs that I use and sell are 3" and they seem like the perfect size to me. My silver ones are 2" though and they work just fine. I have also etched seals onto other material that is even smaller then 1", and it works (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Paper sort of kind of works, but nothing like metal or parchment. What I will often do is call the being with a regular seal, and if we are going to continue to work together, or they deserve a really awesome reward I will make their seal with the appropriate metal, or the metal they preffer. If you haven't done this already, you might want to have the gold disc as a reward for Asmoday after the work is done.
Another option btw, for those who cannot afford $100 or more on gold seals, is to use a disc of wood or another metal and purchase 24K gold leafing and leaf it, I have done that will a few discs and they come out quite beautifully (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).
