In this video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy demonstrates how to create granulation jewelry from silver.

When you think of granulation, you usually think of gold pieces with surface decoration composed from hundreds or thousands of tiny gold spheres. The reason why gold is used for granulation is because gold naturally resists forming oxides on its surface. But gold is expensive. But, if you like the look of granulation, why not try to use silver.

You're silver granulation piece is bound to develop fire scale. But, you can always hide it by either "frosting" the surface through depletion plating or plating the piece with gold or silver.
