Getting Out of My Comfort Zone



I still consider myself quite the ‘newbie’. I have been trying to branch out with the kind of metal I use with wire-wrapping.

I started with copper then gradually progressed to fine silver. I finally got the courage to use 14K yellow gold filled wire in a piece.

Since then, I’ve pushed myself further. My wife loves 14K rose gold, so I ordered 14K rose gold filled wire. I also have experimented with dichroic & silver foil glass as well.

Here are a few pieces that although far from perfect, I'm very Happy with while attempting the design!
  • What we do...

    Adams Handcrafted Jewelry specializes in wire-wrapped jewelry. I bend it, weave it, and twist it with an emphasis on movement,and flow creating one-of-a-kind pieces. All of my Jewelry is handmade using stone, semi-precious gemstone or glass bead inclusions and accents picked with care. Each piece exhibits a deep appreciation for the handcrafted cabochons I use along with the rich depths of copper or fine silver wire wrapping designed for each piece.
