Wire wrapping
What is wire wrapping? Wire wrapping has been in vogue for a few years and is not new. It is an ancestral jewellery technique, which consists of wrapping metal wires around a support such as gemstones or pearls, while creating simple or complex patterns. Some pieces may even look like works of art.
With the craze for gemstones, wire wrapping is present in costume jewellery. It is a very good method to set stones or to personalise your handmade costume jewellery.Round, flat or square wires, you can use any shape of wire, as long as it is flexible and rigid at the same time, to be malleable enough. As for the material, your wire can be made of aluminium, silver, stainless steel, copper or Gold Filled. It all depends on your DIY project!
