Welcome

Thank you for visiting Don Originals for hand-crafted wire wrapped and wire jewelry. Wire wrapped jewelry, also called wire jewelry, is a unique art and can only be created by hand. Each piece is unique in it’s own right because it is created as the artist works which means that the end result is not always by intended design.

Wire and wire-wrapped jewelry is created by taking a gem or stone of any kind then wrapping it with wire. Each artist can, of course, create any design a customer wants, but when the artist is creating a piece of hand-crafted wire jewelry, the final design is quite often determined by the characteristics the wire takes as the artist is working. Making wire-wrapped jewelry and wire jewelry is not as simple as it may seem because one needs to be familiar with each type of wire available and how it is applied then manipulated for each stone and design of the piece being created. The process of wrapping the stone itself takes very careful manipulation of the wire being used.

Recently I have begun to explore metal-smithing and am utilizing this new skill to enhance the beauty of the jewelry pieces I create.
