Here is a granulation tip from
@ygb.made - “I had some Argentium left over from a hypoallergenic custom order and decided to try out a comment I’d seen on a
@metalsmithsociety post about Argentium creating smoother, cleaner silver balls. WOW that was a good idea. Argentium fuses (!!!) to itself—and sterling, for the record—which means you don’t need solder to hold it together, and when heated Argentium is attracted to itself like oppositely charged poles on a magnet (see video for this effect in action.) This has taken my granulation game to the next level as I don’t have to worry anymore about solder, maneuvering some sort of tension to hold the balls together, drilling little cups into a backplate or solder block with a round bur, etc. GAMECHANGING.” 🙌 Thank you so much for taking the time to share this video with us! We would love to see more Argentium tips if anyone would like to send them my way 😏
