    I ordered from SPM quite a while ago. While they have changed their
    website (www.goldgranules.com), I am pretty sure that they still
    sell the granules in fine silver and 22k gold. Call them if you have
    not already. If you need silver, I may be able to sell you some of
    mine. I have probably 1/8 ounce left (a guess) in the medium size.
    They are extremely expensive. 

    It's not hard to make them. If you buy 30 guage wire, you can wrap
    it around a square wire- I use a bobby pin. Then cut down one side to
    make tiny jump rings. This way you have the same amount of metal for
    each granule, which gives you granules of all the same size.  Melt
    them with a torch on a charcoal block. 

Good luck
Kevin
