The Art of Granulation
Granulation Diamond Trilogy Engagement Ring
The Art of Granulation: A Signature of Tide & Trove’s Bespoke Engagement Rings
At Tide & Trove, every piece of jewellery is a testament to masterful craftsmanship and refined elegance. One of our most distinctive techniques is granulation—an ancient artisan skill that brings a unique depth, texture, and play of light to our fine jewellery. This meticulous process is at the heart of our signature aesthetic, creating engagement rings that are not only unique but timeless in their beauty.
What is Granulation?
Granulation is an intricate decorative technique that dates back thousands of years, originally perfected by ancient goldsmiths in Mesopotamia and Etruria. It involves the delicate placement of tiny gold spheres onto a metal surface, which are then fused without the use of solder, creating a seamless and refined texture. At Tide & Trove, we have reimagined this historic technique with contemporary precision, using it to enhance our bespoke engagement rings with an exquisite balance of artistry and durability.
The Tide & Trove Approach: Elegance and Perfection
While granulation has historical roots, our approach is distinctively modern, ensuring that each detail is executed with the highest level of precision. Every granulated engagement ring we create is a fusion of tradition and innovation, designed to reflect the individuality of its wearer.
Our fine jewellery is crafted in solid gold, using responsibly sourced materials, including Ocean Diamonds and ethically mined gemstones. The granulation technique is applied with extraordinary finesse, complementing the clean lines and sophisticated silhouettes of our designs. This level of craftsmanship results in engagement rings that are not only unique but enduring—pieces to be treasured for a lifetime.
Why Choose a Granulated Engagement Ring?
For those seeking a bespoke engagement ring that stands apart, granulation offers a distinctive textural dimension that enhances the brilliance of the gemstone. Each tiny gold sphere catches the light beautifully, creating a soft, radiant glow that adds depth to the overall design. Unlike mass-produced jewellery, our pieces celebrate individuality, making them perfect for those who appreciate true artistry and exclusivity.
