Testimonials

Hi, I just happened across your site while getting ideas for my wire wrap gemstones and sea glass.

The fact that you give away information, don’t insist personal information, has bought my business already.

To add to the joy (yes, I’m prone to hyperbole but I’m absolutely enchanted with your business model), you add stone treatment information rather than burying it somewhere.

It’s very important to me to be able to tell my customers the what’s been done to their stones, the quality, source and composition of the gems they buy.

I believe I’m the only vendor to have the FCC and AGIA disclosure booklets available at any festival I’ve attended.

You have a customer now and, if OK, I will use your page on stone treatments, with proper attribution of course, as a handout at my next festival the end of this month.

Brightest blessings,

Liz

Border Wraps with Round Wire

How to make a border wrap using round wire. In this video I (Szarka) describe how to bundle round wires for a border wrap. A border wrap is a techbnique in wire wrapped jewelry to capture a cabochon. Usually square wire is used but I like the look of the design elements I can create with round wire and it sometimes can be unruly in this application. There are many videos on youtube demonstrating border wraps and how to do them completely. This video only covers one aspect or variation of a border wrap.
