Rutile Quartz Cabochon Drops in Fine Silver Granulation Earrings with French Hooks
These Rutile Quartz drop-shaped cabochons are bezel-set in Fine Silver granulation featuring slices of large ingots that have been drawn into a round drawplate . I love making these pieces. They are so meditative to make. These great Rutile Quartz are large shimmery drop shaped cabochons with lovely gold threads running throughout.
Granulation is a controlled fusing process that has been utilized for thousands of years. I melt 999.99% Fine Silver to create granules and wire. The granules are then individually placed and fused with a mouth torch to the oval setting. For this pair, the Rutile Quartz cabochons were selected from my gem stash for their shimmery stabs of rutile color through the heart of the juicy quartz! I cut a seat for the stone after the granulation is completed and I use a hammer and punch on the bezel-setting to capture the cabochons.
