I love granulation! Each one of the small dots has to be made individually and fused, one row at a time. You have to be careful-- not enough heat and they won't fuse and too much heat and the piece will melt and be ruined! I have set these with garnets. Eventually, I would like to begin working in gold-- as you can imagine--these earrings done in 20K would be very nice!
