This is a 3mm patterned band with small circular disk granules and small round granules around the whole band. This is a cast version of a striking and fun band I originally made in fine silver using the process of Granulation. I then made a mold of the ring and pulled a wax copy. Then I cast using the lost wax process.

I can size this to your size specifications and cast it in 14k yellow gold, 18k yellow gold or sterling silver in a variety of finishes.

I am also happy to make one in original granulation for you in your size in either 18k gold or Fine Silver. These take much longer to make but the process and result are lovely. Original granulated bands have a continuous pattern. The cast band’s pattern may no longer be continuous when the cast band is resized for you, but I will do my best so that you won’t notice the pattern disruption.

Email me to inquire about an original granulated ring in your size in this pattern for a Bespoke or Custom ring. susan@susanmcdonough.com

Granulation is an ancient fusing process utilized for thousands of years by the Etruscans and Mycenaeans as well as other cultures around the globe. I alloy 24k gold down to 18k gold and create tiny granules and sort them by size. Then I place these granules with a 000 paint brush and then carefully heat the piece using a mouth torch to the point of fusing. Each sphere is connected by a tangent of metal creating a sleek and beautiful surface, in this a case, a pattern made of slices from a round ingot and several sizes of my granules. I then make a mold and cut it for use, inject it with wax, and use that wax copy to make your ring! I clean and polish the new metal ring and darken the deeper recesses with a patina so as to accentuate the unique pattern in the metal. You can also choose to have no patina when you select your size and finish at check out.

This ring will also look terrific with diamonds set in it and has a separate listing that includes the diamonds in your size.
