These 14k yellow gold hoops are cast in my studio from a granulated master for a limited edition series of hoops. I use fine silver for the original granulation, then make a mold, pull a wax copy from the mold, then cast that wax using the lost wax process with a vacuum.

Granulation is a fascinating and labor-intensive ancient fusing process that can only be done with certain alloys which are prone to fusing such as Fine Silver, 18k gold and 22k gold. 14k gold is not one of those metals. Casting allows me to make this design in hard-to-fuse metals like 14k!

These are the second-largest in my series of four Etruscan Hoop sizes - 20mm.

These hoops have a riveted hoop wire and catch with a satisfying snap.
