I made the original band in Fine silver using the process of Granulation. I then made a mold of that polished granulated original, pulled some wax copies of it, then cast them using the lost wax process, and then I soldered the posts on and polished and cleaned them up for you!

Granulation is an ancient fusing process utilized for thousands of years by the Etruscans and Mycenaeans as well as other cultures around the globe. I alloy 24k gold down to 18k gold or use Fine Silver and create tiny granules and sort them by size. Then I place these granules with a 000 paint brush and then carefully heat the piece using a mouth torch to the point of fusing. Each sphere is connected by a tangent of metal creating a sleek and beautiful surface, in this case, a pattern made of slices from an ingot and several sizes of my granules. I then make a mold and cut it for use, inject it with wax and use that wax copy to cast your earrings!
