Nickel silver brush Ø 100 mm (0.08mm)

Description

Designed with precision and durability in mind, this Nickel Silver Brush is an indispensable tool for jewellers, goldsmiths, and artisan craftspeople. Engineered specifically for delicate and intricate processes, it is particularly suited for preparing gold for granulation—an ancient and highly skilled decorative technique where tiny granules of gold are applied to a surface in intricate patterns.

At the heart of this specialist tool is its crimped nickel silver wire, crafted with a precise thickness of 0.08 mm. The fine yet durable nature of the nickel silver wire ensures effective and gentle surface preparation without compromising the integrity of the material. Its crimped design enhances the brush’s efficiency by providing increased flexibility and superior coverage, allowing you to achieve a smooth and consistent surface ideal for granulation.

Key Features

• Optimal Diameter: With a 100 mm  diameter, this brush offers excellent surface coverage while maintaining control during use. Its size is perfect for both larger pieces and more detailed work, offering versatility for a wide range of projects.
• Four-Line Construction: The 4-line design provides increased density and durability, ensuring a longer lifespan and better performance over time. This construction allows for more precise handling, giving jewellers and goldsmiths the confidence to achieve flawless results.
• Crimped Nickel Silver Wire: Made entirely of high-quality nickel silver, the brush’s crimped wires enhance flexibility and reach, making it effective for cleaning and preparing gold surfaces without scratching or damaging the metal. The 0.08 mm wire thickness strikes the perfect balance between strength and delicacy.
• Wooden Core: The natural wooden core not only adds a touch of traditional craftsmanship but also provides stability and reduces vibration during use. This ensures a smooth, comfortable working experience, even during prolonged use.

Perfect for Granulation

Granulation requires an impeccably clean and even surface to ensure the success of the process. This Nickel Silver Brush is specially designed to achieve that ideal preparation, creating a lightly textured surface that enhances the adhesion of gold granules during fusing. Whether you are working with fine gold, sterling silver, or other precious metals, this brush allows you to prepare your materials with the utmost precision and care.

The brush’s fine wire bristles delicately remove any residues or impurities, such as oxides or surface contaminants, that could interfere with the adhesion of granules. Its design ensures you can reach even the smallest details of your piece, supporting the creation of intricate designs with professional-quality results.

Applications Beyond Granulation

While it excels in preparing gold for granulation, this versatile brush is also ideal for other fine jewellery-making tasks, such as cleaning, texturing, or polishing precious metals. Its gentle yet effective action makes it suitable for use on a variety of materials, ensuring versatility and excellent results across different applications. Use it for cleaning, deburring, or polishing intricate pieces, and experience the ease with which it reaches into the tiniest crevices and detailed engravings. Its 4-line construction ensures maximum coverage and efficiency, allowing you to work swiftly without compromising on quality. This brush is particularly effective for achieving a satin or matte finish, giving your pieces a sophisticated and professional look.
