To make reticulate sterling silver, you gently heat the surface of the sheet of silver until it becomes molten. This draws all of the pure silver to the surface and as it cools it leaves this beautiful texture behind. I have created small and large disk pendants and a few pairs of earrings from this same sheet.

Materials

• Sterling silver

• sterling silver manufactured butterflies

Measurements

• 8mm diameter disk

• .9mm thick ear post

• 1cm long ear post

• 1mm thick disk

Please note that the above measurements are approximate only. I have two pairs of earrings that are so similar that I have only photographed one. They are made up and ready to post.

Please check out the pendants that match in my shop under pendants - other.
