Granulation on a 14-Karat White Gold Ring Using Fusion-Welding
Technology
By: Mark B. Mann - Copyright © Visual Communications,
Inc. 2006 - Ganoskin

ring is manufactured using Hoover and Strong’s 14-karat
white gold alloyed with palladium. It was cast using standard
casting methods and materials for gold and silver. The pearl
post were fabricated and soldered after casting and pre-finishing.
The cultured pearl measures 10.5mm and is too large to mount
prior to the fusion welding. Fusion welding of the beads would
not cause damage to a cultured pearl or weaken the bond between
the glue and the pearl. More
