Enquire about this pieceGranulation — fusing tiny beads of gold onto a surface — is one of the oldest and most demanding techniques in goldsmithing, and it is used here without restraint. The shank rises into a cage of spiralling wire, every line of it edged with granules, up to a collet holding an oval stone banded in orange and white.
This is a statement ring, 3.3 cm high, and it is heavy: 11 grams with the stone. Ring size 10 (US). Priced by weight.
