The Magic of Handcrafted Silver Wire Jewellery...
Each stone is hand-selected for its individual charm and energy, ensuring that no two pieces are ever quite the same. They're not just decorations; they're silent companions that carry with them the wisdom of the earth and the secrets of the cosmos.
These gemstones are cradled in the embrace of the silver wire, which has been shaped into delicate prongs, elegant loops, and swirling spirals that showcase their brilliance. The silver itself is a canvas for the stones to shine upon, a mirror reflecting the light that plays upon their facets, casting a kaleidoscope of colours across the wearer's skin. The wire is not merely a support but an integral part of the design, twisting and turning to give each creation a sense of movement and life.
The art of setting these gems is a dance of precision and patience. Each stone is carefully placed, ensuring that it sits just so, nestled securely yet allowing it to breathe and interact with the world around it including the wearer. The silver wire wraps around the crystals like the tender vines of a delicate garden, holding them in place while allowing their natural beauty to take centre stage.
The result? A collection of jewellery that is not only visually stunning but also infused with the metaphysical properties of the crystals and the timeless charm of silver. Each piece is a testament to the artist's vision and the power of human touch. Wearing such a creation is like carrying a piece of the universe with you, a silent reminder of the beauty and strength that lies within us all.
The Process
Crafting silver wire jewellery, where each step is creativity and precision.
Wire Thinning - the art of manipulating the wire's thickness. Using a drawplate the silver wire is gently coaxed into thinner and more delicate forms. It's a process that requires patience and a gentle touch.
Wire Choosing and Measuring - there are spools of silver wire in every gauge and shape. The perfect wire is carefully selected, weighing its texture and malleability and measuring the precise length needed.
Wire Cutting - wire cutters snip through the silver creating the foundation of a new jewellery piece.
Wire Burning - using a torch, the wire is being heated, watching it transform from cold and rigid to warm and flexible for the purpose of rounding any sharp edges from previous cutting.
Wire Forming, Twisting - with the wire malleable, it's time to play with shapes. Using pliers and mandrels to bend, coil, and twist the silver into loops, spirals, and curves.
Wire Attaching and Crimping - weaving the wire strands together and securing them with delicate crimps and finally the crimp cover.
Crystal Choosing - choosing the stones and crystals that resonate with design, feeling their energy and beauty.
Crystal Drilling – drilling with diamond bits fine enough to accommodate silver wire to carry the crystal.
Crystal Wrapping Wire - coiling the silver wire around the crystal holding without drilling.
Stone Cleaning, Washing – a gentle bath for the gems, freeing them of any dust or debris, preparing them to shine in the spotlight.
Stone Polishing - polishing the crystal to a shine, colours pop and the facets sparkle.
Stone Cleansing, Blessing, Smooching - this is the part where the creation is infused with love and intention. It's your personal touch, a silent promise that your jewellery will be cherished.
The silver wire jewellery is complete, a testament to creativity. Wear it or give it as a gift, and let the world marvel at the beauty brought to life.
