Love this silver ball/granulation tip from @torbjornjewellery - “If you’re wanting to include granulation in your designs in silver or gold, I’ve found the best technique is to use a charcoal block and use a ball burr to create round seats in your block. These burrs work well because they come in a variety of sizes and help you achieve a perfectly round ball 👌🏻” Also love the idea of cutting jump rings so you ensure your metal balls are equal in size.

Here is a fabulous sawing tip from @saltwater.and.silver -  “ The easiest trick to get that perfect saw line around a decorative edge ⚡️  I think this has become my motto around here….  “Just grab a sharpie!”  I swear it’s my most used tool in the studio.  My vision isn’t the worst, but after lots of sawing and staring at small things, my eyes get a little crossed.  • When this happens I pull out my sharpie and draw a line around the edge of where I want to saw and simply FOLLOW THE LINE!  It’s so easy and saves my eyes  Save this for next time and tell me below if it was helpful or if you already do this!  I’m gonna go buy stock in sharpie now ✌🏻 ”
