I double love this color combination! These luminous, translucent tanzanites look terrific with the juicy 18k gold, especially with this finish. Tanzanite oval cabochons are bezel-set in 18k gold granulation with 14k post and earnuts. These hang vertically and have a polished, classic beauty.
Granulation is an ancient fusing process utilized for thousands of years by the Etruscans and Mycenaeans. I alloy 24k gold down to 18k and create tiny granules. I place these granules with a 000 paint brush and then carefully heat the whole 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. An Alchemical miracle of stone and metal and fire to adorn the lobes of your beloved.
