Granulated pendant


My first attempt at granulation and tube setting a gemstone.

A bit primitive looking and the scan shows a myriad of flaws, but it good enough to encourage me to continue on this course. =)

The pendant is Argetium sterling, the granulation is fine silver, the 3/16" tube for the setting, and the bail are sterling, with a 4 mm garnet.

Next up: filigree earrings.
