Wrapsody Jewelry
About the Process
Wrapsody jewelry begins of simple straight 14kt Rolled Gold or Sterling Silver Wire and a Gemstone. It is custom designed by twisting and shaping wire around the gemstone using my hands, pliers, and occasionally a small jeweler’s hammer. No glue or solder is used. Only high quality materials are selected for each piece of jewelry:14kt Rolled Gold or Sterling Silver Wire, Beads and Findings, along with Semi-Precious Stones, Swarovski Crystal, Coins and artist created Dicroic Glass.
About The Wire
Facts About 14kt Rolled Gold Wire - This special wire has been used by jewelry artists since the 1800’s. 14kt Rolled Gold wire is created by taking a sheet of 14kt gold and bonding it through extreme heat and pressure to a tiny core of semi-precious metal (either brass or sterling silver). This is a very sophisticated process and only a few mills in the world manufacture this wire. The result is a 14kt gold tube, with a semi-precious core that is strong and durable. This 14kt Gold metal composition enables me to make the curls, swirls and bends in my unique designs. A 14kt Rolled Gold piece of jewelry is considered a lifetime piece of jewelry. 14kt Rolled Gold will not corrode, turn, or wear off.
Facts About Sterling Silver Wire - Sterling Silver wire is 92.5% solid silver with alloy metals making up the other 7.5%. The alloy metals make it harder and more durable.
Guarantee
If a piece of Wrapsody Jewelry breaks under normal wearing conditions, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge.
Cleaning And Caring For Your Wire Jewelry
Care for your Wrapsody Jewelry as you would any other piece of fine jewelry. Please take into consideration the softness or hardness of the stone and clean accordingly. I recommend using a toothbrush and liquid dishwashing soap. Keep the piece separate from your other jewelry so it does not get nicked or scratched. It is also best to keep it in a small sealed plastic bag or in a box with cotton in it. This will cut down on tarnishing, as air cannot get to it as easily.
I hope you enjoy your jewelry!!
