| Wire Wrapped Pendants
I started wire wrapping gemstones a few years ago
and it's been a passion ever since. Coming to love the gemstone
beads, it seemed natural to look for and work with polished stones and
larger examples of the wonderful bounty of beauty nature provides us. I found precision cut cabochons rather difficult to work with, as wire
has a mind of it's own
sometimes and will go where it will. So I tend to specialise in unusual
shapes and forms, especially natural raw crystals. What better way to
benefit from their properties?
I use .925 Sterling silver wire of different gauges, usually 20-22g,
and usually dead soft for flexibility. Making a frame around a stone
requires a harder form, half hard, so it will hold it's shape. (See
my blog for an article on
this.)
The gold wire is 14k gold filled, also called 'rolled gold' and is a
14k plating over sterling silver. This wire is absolutely beautiful and
will last a lifetime.
I love to wrap unusual shapes, a wonderful challenge.
I hope you like my work, it is a pleasure to make! Please contact me if
you have a stone you would like wrapped. I also wrap gemstones with Swarovski crystals in the chakra colours. My
latest designs incorporate weaving and coiling wire, available from my
shop.
Please respect my copyright on images and
designs. Thank you.
