Emerald Cabochon 18k post earrings

These stunning emerald cabochons are bezel-set in 18k gold with 18k granulation around the outside. These are 18k gold post earrings with a 14k gold ear nut. Classic and understated. But that color, though! Ya’ll know I loooove emeralds! Granulation is an ancient fusing process utilized for thousands of years by the Etruscans and Mycenaeans. I alloy 24k gold down to 22k and 18k and create tiny granules. I place these granules with a 000 paint brush and then carefully heat using a mouth torch to the point of fusing. Each sphere is connected by a tangent of metal creating a sleek and beautiful surface. These are tiny. Lightweight and very wearable.
