Squiggle and Dot Granulated Ring in Fine Silver or 18k Gold

This lovely Squiggle and Dot design band is unique and made by hand using the ancient process of Granulation. Granulation is a controlled fusing process utilized for thousands of years which can only be done in certain high-purity metals. This ancient fusing process has been utilized for thousands of years by the Etruscans and Mycenaeans. Following this ancient tradition, I use pure silver or alloy 24k gold down to 18k and create tiny granules and wire and sheet. I prepare the ring by cutting a length of sheet to size and fusing it together using a mouth torch to control the heat. I place the granules with a 000 paint brush and then carefully heat them using a mouth torch to the point of fusing. Each sphere is connected by a tangent of metal creating a sleek and beautiful surface. Each granule and shaped wire are placed individually and fused cohesively with a mouth torch. After many applications of the granules, with repeated torch firings and cleaning and more granules, the ring is then shaped and smoothed, given a dark patina and then brushed with a brass brush. You really cannot get more handmade than this.
