Why I LOVE creating jewelry

I have always enjoyed creating things.  There is nothing more satisfying than knowing you created something out of a pile of different items that may or may not seem they should even go together. It always amazes me after I finish something, that it used to be just a few items that seemingly had no useful purpose on their own. LOVE it!

My fellow creators know exactly what I’m talking about. Skeins of yarn turned into a sweater, scarf, afghan, and so much more! A pile of wood turned into a house, a shelf, cabinet, and the list goes on! Fabric and thread turns into clothing, quilts, and endless possibilities!

All of these are amazing to me, but, I think wire jewelry creation is so much more so! I think the reason is we have all seen how all the other creations came about, but, wire jewelry creation is not as well-known. We are so used to going to the local or even large chain jewelers and purchasing jewelry items that were made from molds. Thousands of the same items exactly replicated.  Nothing is made by a single person, created especially for your special moment, or unique to you that no one else will ever have.

That is exactly what wire jewelry creation does! Everything we make, we make by hand. We don’t use any solder or glue! You can receive a very special piece of jewelry, hand crafted from the creator’s heart, just for you!

These photos show how a few items are created into something beautiful!

Supplies for ring

These are the items I used to create the finished ring pictured below

In the picture above, I started out with some argentium silver wire, cubic zirconia, czech glass beads, and a snapset to hold the cz stone. As I went along, I decided which beads would look best and where I felt they should be in conjunction with the set cz.

In the photo below, the finished ring. Amazing!

Are you as amazed as I am?
 
If you want to purchase a very special, personal, and unique work of art, purchase your jewelry from a wire jewelry artist and not from the assembly line stores! You’ll be glad you did!
 
With proper care of your wire jewelry, it will become an heirloom!
