Thank you so very much Seth Rosen, Jim Grahl, and Chrisopher Pian. Iām deeply honored and humbled to have been selected from among so many talented artists!
Thanks to all the jurors for awarding me fine silver granules. One question: Is there any chance that I can request a specific mm size of the granules?
To You-all (Southern California yaā knowā¦)
All of you did an amazing job of demonstrating a remarkably difficult process. Each of you have demonstrated attention to quality and creativity. Whether self taught or benefitting from professional training , youāve created a homage to the rich history of granulation.
While there could, by nature, be a limited number of winners, each entry is now the source of a photo archive of a certain individual perspective of granulationās application.
Each photo and story adds to the history and opens the door for further self expression by others.
You do beautiful work.
Thank you for sharing this with all the rest of this community.
Best,
Jim
wow! drum roll, please! exciting!! congratulations to all who entered! everyoneās pieces were so beautiful!
I cannot wait to see the next contest!
maybe enameling? (I love enameling) or repousse?..or wirewrapping? (wirewrapping can be such a feat of construction!) or vessels (yes! vessels!)ā¦orā¦boxes!..or found object inspired pieces!..or lapidary!..orā¦forming!..(stakes and hammers!)ā¦or tiaras! (eveyone should have at least two!) (I was watching a youtube channel where the jeweler was transforming a diamond and gemstone bracelet into a headpiece (removable fixture)!
I would just like to thank all of you who participated in the contest, and also congratulate our winners. It was a privilege to see such fine craftsmanship.
Just a note to our winners, your prizes will ship very soon so keep an eye out for them.
If interested in a quote or for any questions about our products or company please feel free contact me directly. Do not hesitate.
Recently some of our granule products have been repriced, and we now offer some smaller quantity options on 18K and 22K gold granules.
Has anyone managed to get a catalogue from the contest sponsors? I finally got my granules, and theyāre nice and evenly sized, looks like good quality, and Iād like to do business with them.
Iāve emailed and messaged several times- to the company generally and directly to Christopher as heās asked folks to above- and still no catalogue. This is my last try at giving them some business before I go back to ordering my granules from Otto Frei.
I quoted you my entire granule product line. What more precisely would you like sir? I am eager to business. Quote #1636. Sent 4/10/17. Whole product line. Your post is therefore confusing to me.
For the record we do not use a standing catalog for our granules. I have the pricing structures in place to turn around extremely FAST quote requests in either Sterling silver, Fine Silver, 18K gold, 22K gold, Argentium. Just tell me what you want. I simply need a metal, size, and quantity. Anyone who calls or shoots me an email and will have pricing immediately. We at Scientific Alloys care very much about our customers, we have built a reputation on quality, consistency, and customer satisfaction over 35 years. Any suggestion to the contrary is quite ill-informed.
I invite anyone who needs perfect uniform shiny granules to give me a call any time, or email me and Scientific will be on the case!
Christopher,
I never received a quote from you- if I had, I would not have posted here. I also private messaged you more recently than 4/10 asking for a catalogue, and I received no reply. If you did send a quote, please send it again.
Thatās probably the issue- I donāt have an email address anything like that one, so you likely have me mixed up with someone else as regards the quote you sent last month. But, I did get the quote you sent to my correct address just now, so thank you!
No problem. Apologies again. I didnāt have it mixed it was the only email I had on file for you. I donāt check the forum every day. Call or email me any time
