reticulation

What is reticulation in jewelry-making?

Reticulation is a process that allows to achieve a textured surface on a metal - such as silver - after heating it. The final result consists of an interesting surface with ripples and ridges. The “pianeta verde” pendant in the image was created with this unique process.

A planet ("pianeta" in the language of the designer) with a touch of "grass" inspired the design of this unique necklace handmade with the process of reticulation. The piece is available online.
