These One-of-a-Kind Carnelian Long Dangle Earrings are made with a lovely set of carnelian oval cabochons in Fine Silver Granulation. The long Seaweed patterned tops have a french hook and clasp and the carnelian oval is attached to allow a swaying dangle! Classy, unique statement earrings.
Granulation is an ancient fusing process utilized by the Etruscans and Mycenaeans for thousands of years. I melt Fine Silver to create tiny granules, wires, and sheet. I place these 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 tiny tangent of metal creating a sleek and beautiful surface.
The carnelian gems are bezel set with a hammer and punch.
