Definition of GRANULATION

:

Old-world goldsmithing brings the past into the present with detailed surface decoration that suits antique and contemporary designs

Granulation, the art of creating a surface pattern on jewelry with tiny gold balls, dates back to the third millennium BC. The technique, invented in the Eastern Mediterranean and Egypt and later refined by Etruscan goldsmiths, looks as fresh and inventive today as it must have then.

The process begins when wire is cut into short lengths and melted into round granules that are placed on the jewelry in the desired pattern. They’re held in place with temporary “glue” made from plant sap. In the best examples, the balls are attached permanently with heating (which evaporates the glue), not soldering. But it’s a difficult process because the temperature has to be hot enough to fuse the gold ball to the surface, but not enough to melt the ball into an amorphous puddle.

Granulation involves only high-karat gold. The purer the material, the easier it will be to achieve the fusion required for granulation.

People are instantly attracted to granulation because of the connection to ancient cultures.

They also react strongly to a pattern created with the rich color of high-karat gold. The high karat gold granulation is the same color as the pure gold bar from which it’s made.

Colored gemstones look particularly enticing in granulated jewelry because the rich colors complement each other.
