I’m finding lots of inspiration with the reticulated silver I’ve been working with this week-now that I have a process for getting good (most of the time) results. It works well with so many designs and pairs great with my stash of semi precious gemstones and rocks. Here are a few that I did:
The metal is fairly tough once it’s done, and bending is almost impossible so no curves on small pieces. However, it’s easy to add bezel settings to and with care, will let you solder on top without turning the thing into a puddle of silver. This one has a hematite stone on it:
If you have silver scraps sitting around, try this and see what you come up with, it’s a great way to create some truly unique components! Here is a great You Tube tutorial that walks you through the process…Happy reticulating!
