Making Wire Wrap Jewelry

I am teaching a mini-workshop on “How to Wire Wrap” for the members of the Pinellas Geological Society.  We will make cuff bracelets like the one shown here. It can be a men’s cuff bracelet, as well as for women. This wire wrapped bracelet uses the basic technique necessary to make more complicated pendants and other wire wrap jewelry. The basic part of wire wrapped jewelry is the “wrap”. The wrap is the part that holds a bundle of wires together. I will go into more details in the class, but here are the basics of how to make wire wrapped bracelets like the one above:

Wire

The wire wrapping wire used is square wire for the “bundle”, and half-round wire for the “wrap”. The flat sides of these wires make neater wire jewelry

The Pinellas Geological Society meets monthly at the Largo Public Library, but during summer months mini-workshops are held. This summer we have already learned to make a Tree of Life Pendant and Scrimshaw.  If you want more information or are interested in joining, visit their website www.pgs.rocks or facebook page.
