Ruby, Sterling silver and 18ct gold reticulated and darkened bar brooch. The smooth sheet of silver was heated, quenched and put through sulphuric acid a dozen times, then finally overheated. At that stage the surface of the metal spontaneously wrinkles up in an uncontrolled way. No two pieces can be the same. The piece was then trimmed to final shape, and the gold applied. It was then darkened in a heated sulphur solution, cleaned and the stone set.

'Heavens Above' Sterling silver, 18ct gold, Amethyst, Iolite, reticulated, granulated and darkened brooch. The smooth sheet of silver was heated, quenched and put through sulphuric acid a dozen times, then finally overheated. At that stage the surface of the metal spontaneously wrinkles in an uncontrolled way. No two pieces can be the same. The granulation was applied before the cut out frame was soldered on and the piece trimmed to final shape. The gold was applied, then darkened in a heated sulphur solution, cleaned and the stones set.
