Who doesn't love to watch metal melt! Reticulating silver creates mountains and valleys by melting the sterling silver alloy (80/20) metal to a precise heat. Every reticulation comes out different. Create your own reticulated pendant and learn a fast and easy way to set a stone in a tube setting and then solder the pieces together creating your own one of a kind art piece pendant.
