Wire wrap jewelry is a technique used to create jewelry pieces by securely wrapping wire around gemstones, beads, or other decorative elements. It involves manipulating and shaping wire to create intricate designs that hold the components together. Wire wrap jewelry can be made using various types of wire, such as copper, sterling silver, gold-filled wire, or artistic wire, each providing different aesthetics and levels of durability.
The wire is typically bent, twisted, coiled, and woven to form intricate patterns, frames, and settings for the stones or beads. This technique allows for endless design possibilities, ranging from simple and minimalist styles to more elaborate and ornate creations. Wire wrap jewelry can include pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets, and more.
