Look at the different size of granulated balls. The smallest is .014 mm. |
Diamond Fold Over Loop Chain Very Delicate and Dainty. |
Gold Granulation on Silver Jean's Secret....till you attend her class. |
Gold on White Gold Granulation. This was an absolutely beautiful necklace, and the chain was silver and gold weave. |
Beautiful and Dainty too! |
These clasps are amazing. The granulation goes around the clasp in a continuous line. Its extremely difficult to place the granules single file. |
More single file granulation. This is almost impossible to do, and Jean seems to do it with ease. Its also hard to place the granules in a curved line. |
Close up of the earring and the granulation. This is a great example of the different size granulation balls. Notice how they get smaller towards the end of the earring. |
