I sell both my own jewellery and the materials used to make wire jewellery. I have been making wire wrapped/sculpted jewellery for several years now since I became ill and had to leave my work as a community care worker and I enjoy it very much. I aim to bring you this jewellery using only the best quality materials I can find from here in the UK, the USA and quality CZ stones from Thailand. I try to keep my prices as reasonable as possible whilst not reducing the quality of the pieces I make. I want them to last you a lifetime and even longer so quality is important to me and I hope this is reflected in the pieces themselves. I hope you enjoy my jewellery and please remember that if you see something you like it can be made for you in your size.

am an artisan jewellery designer and maker. I have been making this wire sculpted jewellery for 3 years now and it is extremely popular in the USA but not yet very well known here in the United Kingdom. That however is now changing and it is set to become much more popular as it is seen more and the influence of the internet brings this type of wire sculpted jewellery into the homes of the UK public. Techniques used: The technique does not involve solder or glues of any kind. The 14ct gold filled wire/sterling silver wire is manipulated using twisting, bending, folding and wrapping to lock the wire into itself and hold its form and shape. Different types of wire can also be mixed together to give a unique look along with patterned wire for an even more unusual extra dimension to the piece of jewellery.

Materials used 14ct gold filled wire. 14ct gold filled wire is somewhat similar to what used to be called Rolled gold here in the UK. Rolled gold is no longer manufactured in the UK and 14ct gold filled is now imported by me from the USA, the only country that manufactures this kind of gold material. Sterling silver wire. Sterling silver wire is made in the UK and the USA it is made at a mill where the silver is pulled through a draw plate to turn it into wire. It is 95% silver and is the standard UK sterling silver. Fine silver is 99% pure and is a little too soft to use in jewellery.
