Learn How To Make Wire Wrapped Jewelry

Wire wrapped jewellery is one of the oldest jewellery making techniques in the world.
If you’re new to making jewelry, wire wrapping is a fun and relatively easy place to start. It’s also a great way to express your creativity and individuality, as no two pieces are ever the same.

Wire wrapped jewelry is formed by wrapping flexible wire around a gemstone (or even around itself) in patterns and twists. When a stone is used, the wire creates a casing so that it doesn’t fall out, without the need to glue or drill holes in it. You can make all kinds of jewelry with this method, though pendants are especially common.

Because the wire wrapping process uses less complex techniques and materials than some other forms of jewelry making (think silversmithing or resin jewelry), it’s easy for anyone to pick up. Wire wrapped jewelry tutorials run the gamut from beginner to advanced, so you can practice on simpler designs before trying more complex ones.
