Handmade wire jewelry is an art form in itself. The making of wire jewelry goes back to before the days of the Egyptians and some of that jewelry is still around. It's amazing how a piece of jewelry made with no solder can be sturdy enough to last centuries but it's true.
A friend of mine has a piece of jewelry that was made in the 1930's. It still looks as good as it did then. With a little care your's should last too.
Wire jewerly is very popular right now. When I first started no one had a clue of what I was making but as the years have gone by people re-discovered this art form much like they have rediscovered the glass bead making art form which was a highly guarded secret in Italy.
Wire jewelry can be made from nearly any type of wire. Many people practice with brass and copper and then go on to the more expensive Silver and Gold however you do not have to. You can stick with brass, copper or nickle if you are not allergic to nickle. If you use jewelers brass wire it looks much like gold and makes very nice jewerly.
Argentium Silver is a nice metal. It resists tarnish because of the alloy with Germanium and makes nice name jewelry.
I will be adding to this site as I have the time and will be putting up tutorials and articles on wire jewelry.
