Wire jewelry made by hand ...

I have been related to art most of my life and worked with wire wrapped jewelry for many years.

Wire wrapping is one of the oldest techniques for making jewelry by hand.
In wire wrapping, jewelry is made using jewelry wire and findings similar to wire (like head-pins) to make components.
Wire components are then connected to one another using mechanical techniques with no soldering or heating of the wire.

Frequently, in this approach, a wire is bent into a loop or other decorative shape and then the wire is wrapped around itself to finish the wire component making that loop or decorative shape permanent.
Because of this technique for wrapping wire around itself this craft is called wire wrapping.

How to determine your bracelet size:

Simply measure the circumference of your wrist with a measuring tape, string or a paper strip, measure the string or paper strip with a ruler then add 1/2″ to 1″ ( ” = inches ) to determine your perfect size, taking into account your preference of tightness. Generally, bracelets are worn relatively loose, adding 1/2″ to 1″ to the measure. 7 1/2″ fit most and custom made from 5″ to 9″, in 1/2″ increments, orders may take a little longer time on custom made items. Bracelets size may affect prices, for a quote you on a special size you can Contact me.

Some recommendations when buying a bracelet for someone else and you do not know their size:
1. Most women might be 7 1/2″ (7 1/2 inches) for a loose fit.
2. Very slender women might be size 7″
3. Young girls might be size 6 1/2″
4. Very young girls might be size 5 1/2″ to 6″
5. Baby bracelets might be 5″ or 5 1/2″
6. Most men start at size 8″
7. Slender men might be size 7 1/2″
8. Large build men might be size 8 1/2″ to 9″ or bigger.
9. I always recommend to measure around the wrist of the person that will receive the bracelet as noted above.

Gold Filled will not tarnish.

Gold Filled or Rolled Gold will not tarnish, but will get dirty. Clean it with a soft rag, or preferably a jewelry cloth. Always store it in a jewelry box.

Sterling Silver normally will tarnish because the small copper content.
Owners of sterling silver jewelry knows that it tarnish and that requires constant cleaning, if you don’t want to clean sterling silver, then you have the option of my 14 kt gold filled jewelry, Gold Filled will not tarnish.
Sterling Silver will tarnish, it will need to be cleaned with a jewelers’ cloth, and if it is badly tarnished a little baking soda and water made into a paste can be rubbed onto it. If needed, you can scrub lightly with a toothbrush and the baking soda paste. Rinse well with water. Always store your jewelry in a jewelry box for safe keeping and protection against tarnish.

What is 14 Kt Gold Filled or Rolled Gold wire ?
Gold Filled or Rolled Gold is made from solid “gold” and “filled” with other alloys. A seamless tube of 14 kt. gold is fused over brass, bronze or silver. Gold Filled wears like solid gold because its outer surface is solid gold. Electroplating is NOT a part of this process. Gold Fill is 100 to 150 times thicker than regular gold plating. Gold Filled wire are made also in 12 Kt, but I only use the more expensive one of 14 Kt, with more gold content than the 12 Kt.
Gold Filled wire is a professional jewelers’ wire made by forming a tube of solid 14k gold and filling it with jewelers’ brass for added strength. There’s 100 times more gold in a gold filled piece of jewelry than in something gold plated. Rolled Gold jewelry will not flake, tarnish or chip under normal use. As a matter of fact, there are still pieces of gold filled jewelry around from the 18th Century. The price of Gold Filled or Rolled Gold wire actually fluctuates with the daily gold market. The Rolled Gold will hold up life if taken care of, whereas plated gold will chip and flake.

Which are the advantages of gold filled ?

Price!! Why pay several hundred dollars for the same piece of jewelry, when you can get if for a fraction of the cost? It will still look, last, and wear like solid gold. It is real gold. It will last for generations as long as it is taken care of, just like solid gold. Gold Filled has been referred to as the “Gold of the Future” because it offers all the same physical characteristics as solid gold such as beauty, durability, and strength, but at a fraction of the cost. Since the gold is on the outer surface area, it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between solid gold and Gold Filled, except when it comes to the cost!

Why Sterling Silver over Fine or Pure Silver ?

Sterling Silver, or .925 silver, is much stronger than Fine Silver. Sterling Silver has a small percent of copper to make it stronger. We make our jewelry out of Sterling Silver because it is much more durable, plus it is less costly. Not only will it last longer, we can pass on the savings to you, our customer. If we used Fine Silver, it would not stand up to any type of general wear and tear, it is too soft. It could only be worn for a very limited amount of time and then be taken off, properly cared for and then immediately put away. With Sterling Silver, you can wear it as you will under normal circumstances.
