@@JewelryArts Thank you so much for the speedy response! That would be great if you could tell me what gauge to use and how to make the branch-effect! I love your videos!
Hi Susan, Here is the link to the brass brush on my tools site www.jewelryartstools.com/product-page/brass-brush The silver isn't yet listed on the site, but if you email Tevel here www.jewelryartstools.com/contact You can just ask him to put together the brass brush, however much of the reticulation silver you want, and anything else you need and he can send it out all together and send you an invoice. :)
It is quite dificult to melt copper, it has a high melting point when on it's own.If you had enough heat, you can melt it but i think it would be difficult to get a reticulated surface. :)
This reticulation silver is made already depleted at the surface, so you can get right to it. When using regular sterling, you would heat and pickle repeatedly first. :)
Great video! Thanks
So glad you enjoyed it!! :)
Hello, Are there any videos on how to melt the silver to form branches? Thanks!
Hmmm, I did a video on how to solder melted branches together but I don't think I have one on melting them. I will put it on the list. :)

You're welcome
Great video! Have you ever done copper reticulation? Are there nuances to this?

@@keelygreen6455 You are very welcome! :)
Did you deplete the piece first? The grey color indicates that you still have a bit of copper on the surface.
This material is already depleted but thanks for the tip. :)
Confused. Did you depletion guild the reticulation silver before heating or just begin heating the reticulation silver?
