Romantic Victorian Inspired Wire Wrapped Keys

I haven’t shared here before, but I’ve read posts and lurked for quite some time, and have learned so much from you lovely people!

Moonstone Key
I’ve always been fascinated by the symbols historically used in jewelry, and have created a collection I call Mythic Visions to explore that love of symbols. Keys are among my favorites.

Amethyst key
They represent everything that’s romantic and appealing about secrets, but it goes deeper than that: a key is power. With a key, you can reveal or conceal, you can access things forbidden to others, and you can unlock the deepest mysteries.
These keys are all created from copper wire and accented with amethyst, moonstone, aventurine and pearl.

The Four Keys, all together
I start with shaping the frame from 16g copper wire, then the filigree elements in the same gauge, and then I weave them together with 28g copper, add the gemstones, antique and buff.
