Jewelry Designs by Christine Clayton


A lyrical, romantic spirit is central to my designs. I take pleasure in using organic materials such as pearls, stones, shells and wood. I feel that natural components add a spiritual element to my jewelry.

I specialize in one of a kind pieces, however, I do offer many made to order items.

Custom orders and wholesale inquiries are always welcome.


I take great care in the creation of my designs; every item I craft is a little piece of me.

May wearing my creations bring you the same joy that creating them does for me.

About Wire Wrapped Jewelry:

It is the only known metal jewelry that is created entirely without soldering or casting. Wire wrap jewelry is formed using only one's hands and a few different hand tools. The wire used may be from many different alloys including copper, brass, sterling silver or gold. It was quite fashionable during the Victorian Era, where it’s popularity exceeded traditional cast jewelry. In recent years, wire wrapped jewelry has continued to increase in popularity due to it's unique beauty.
It is not really known when or where the ancient art of wire wrap originated. There is evidence that Egyptian and Phoenicians practiced the art over 5,000 years ago as pieces have been found in the pyramids and ancient Pharaoh’s tombs.
