silversmithing

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        


                                                                                                                                                                 Here's a simple project using silver wire. No soldering necessary.  Begin with winding the wire around finger three times and then using jewellery pliers, bend and make coil 'bezel', to fit around chosen bead/stone/crystal. nb.To avoid snagging skin or clothes, ensure that you've tucked in the end of the wire.





...And to the more complicated ....requiring multiple soldering technique.

The design further developed using cloisonne enamelling

  2. I'm getting to love wire wrapping, it's so simple but effective. Your dichroic looks like a tempting glass of water on a boiling hot day - lovely.
