Definition of GRANULATION:Old-world Gold and Silver smithingbrings the past into the present with detailed surface decoration that suitsantique and contemporary designsGranulation, the art of creating a surface pattern on jewelrywith tiny silver or gold balls, dates back to the third millennium BC. Thetechnique, invented in the Eastern Mediterranean and Egypt and later refined byEtruscan goldsmiths, looks as fresh and inventive today as it must have then.The process begins when wire is cut into short lengths andmelted into round granules that are placed on the jewelry in the desiredpattern. They’re held in place with temporary “glue” made from plant sap. Inthe best examples, the balls are attached permanently with heating (whichevaporates the glue), not soldering. But it’s a difficult process because thetemperature has to be hot enough to fuse the tiny ball to the surface, butnot enough to melt the ball into an amorphous puddle.Granulation involves only high-karat Silver or Gold. The purerthe material, the easier it will be to achieve the fusion required forgranulation.People are instantly attracted to granulation because of theconnection to ancient cultures.Remarks:Our solid 925Sterling Silver beads are absolutely marvelous and made with exceptionaldetail.
