These granulated and reticulated silver earrings have a wash of 24K gold and hang from sterling silver earwires. They measure 2 inches.

Granulation and reticulation have almost become lost arts because they are so labor-intensive. Granulation involves fusing small spheres of metal to the background without losing the spherical shape. The granules are 1mm or smaller in size. Reticulation is a process of heating and cleaning the metal as many as ten times to form unique ridges and valleys. These pieces are truly one-of-a-kind.
