I’m often asked by people who
silversmith/metalsmith “C’mon now, is wire wrapped jewelry “real “jewelry. You
know you don’t use any metal smith techniques in it.” I always answer with an
unequivocal “Yes”. Even though metal smith techniques may not be incorporated
into wire wrapped jewelry, it does not diminish its value as an art form nor
the effort and time it take to make it. It can take anywhere from a couple of
hours to dozens...
