Beginner’s Luck – Wire Wrapped Bracelet and Earrings

by Melissa Jones.
(Annapolis, MD)

I started with this bracelet…

I am self-taught and picked up my first piece of Stretch Magic just last July.

I am enjoying the learning process and trying new techniques – this weekend, I gave wire wrapping a shot!

And I am delighted with the results!

And then made these earrings to go with.

Here is a bracelet comprised of a rippled 18 gauge silver plated wire frame, on which I wrapped 22 gauge silver plated wire with freshwater pearls, opals, and citrine.

Being one of the odd ducks who prefers to wear matching jewelry, I promptly made earrings to go along with… I felt quite glam wearing these out at dinner last night!

Looking forward to experimenting more with this technique.
