Publisher's Synopsis
Essentially, wire wrapped jewellery is jewellery that has been created either by wrapping wire around itself or around other elements (cabochons, gemstones, crystals or beads).
It's crafted using metal wire, which is bent, twisted and manipulated into shape, rather than being soldered or moulded. The wire can be wrapped around objects to secure them in place, but it can also be a decorative design element in itself.
There are many different wire wrapping and weaving techniques, such as figure-of-eight weave and filigree or herringbone wrapping.
Because the tools needed for wire-wrapping are relatively few and inexpensive, wire wrapping is a great technique if you're just starting your jewellery-making journey.
