Reticulation is a distinctive jewellery-making technique that involves the controlled heating of sterling silver to create unique textures on the metal’s surface.
The result of the reticulation process is a surface with intricate, organic textures that can resemble anything from natural landscapes to abstract patterns. Each piece is unique, as the patterns created by reticulation are highly variable and depend on factors such as the heating process and the metal’s response.
