Classical

When I make perfect 22ct. gold spheres for granulation or perfect circular links for chain mail I feel the breath of the artists who practised their craft before me. 

Granulated Gold

Granulation is one of the earliest known decorative techniques in jewellery. It is a kind of magic in which charcoal, glue and a paintbrush are utilised to make highly detailed and complex constructions. A whole day spent working with a few beads of high carat gold might might pass as if only a matter of minutes.

I learnt these loop in loop patterns in New York in the year 2000 but the ancient Egyptians new them long ago.

Making these gold and silver granulation rings is a challenge. Each small sphere has to be made and positioned one by one with the aid of a paint brush.
