A small and delicate, handcrafted pendant in rich 22 karat gold, showcasing the timeless artistry of granulation. This miniature treasure has a small, brilliant .20-point diamond—adding a quiet spark to this ancient inspired design.
Granulation is an ancient technique, mastered by relatively few goldsmiths. It takes years of practice using the purest of metals. Each tiny granule is made by hand, and making enough for one piece of jewelry can take weeks, then placed one by one using a tiny brush. The piece is heated almost to the melting point. At that precise moment, the granules fuse and become one with the item being granulated. The technique is evident in museum collections featuring ancient jewelry.
The 22 karat gold has a purity of 98% gold, needed for granulation. From this alloy, sheet and wire is created for fabrication.
Chain is 18 inches. Pendant is about 1/4 inch wide and 1/2 inch long.
