Grosvenor is a favorite among artisans who enjoy working with ornate patterns. The raised detailing provides natural focal points for rings and bracelets, while the handle’s thickness remains workable for shaping. The silverplate is moderately firm — sturdy enough to hold form, yet still pliable with proper technique. Beginners can work with it, but experienced makers will especially appreciate the design potential.
