Never mind all of that, but what is wire wrapping, and why so many jewelers use wire wrap? Wire wrapping is a fun and artistic method of creating unique and wearable art from basic items. Here at YUHENG, we consider wire wrapping to be an art of its own, a technique used to create strength, durability, and exceptional beauty in the jewelry it makes.
Making Unique Jewelry Designs
Wire wrapping is a technique that allows jewelers to create certain types of jewelry. Wire wrapping offers designers to create their own designs from scratch, rather than manufacture from prepared components that everyone can find. This usually means utilizing some other tools and materials wires, vibrant beads and glossy gemstones. Wire wrapping is a technique that can create beautiful, original pieces of jewelry unlike anything else around when done right. Every piece has a story to tell and the artist's personality shows through.
Strong and Lasting Jewelry
A huge positive for wire wrapping is that it strengthens your piece, making it much more durable. Wire wrapping is one of the most secure methods of jewelry construction, far more so than other ways to create jewelry. This means that wire wrapped jewelry is definitely less prone to breakage and break up, and are a great option for regular putting on. Wire wrapping can also give designers prettier details and designs as well, making the pieces more unique to the eye. Wearing wire wrapped jewelry, you can be assured that you will have it for a long time and that it will look good.
Making Stones Look Beautiful
Wire wrapping has been employed by jewelers for decades to enhance the appearance of gems. Through the application of a wire around a stone or bead, designers bring out the natural colors and patterns of the material. This is especially true for gemstones that have multiple colors or interesting patterns. Wire is used to create this unique setting that allows jewelers to highlight the stone in a way not possible with traditional jewelry settings. It transforms each piece into a piece of art, accentuating the unique properties of each of the stones being employed.
