Making Wire Wrapped Jewelry Is A Healing Experience
One could say that making wire wrapped jewelry is a healing experience because the majority of wire wrapped jewelry is made from natural stones, rocks, minerals and gemstones. All of these stones have been known for centuries to have healing and mystical powers.
Cabochon stones or agates, jade, malachite, etc., are essential to making beautiful wire wrapped jewelry. Natural bead colors, versus dyed, irradiated or heat-treated are always the best. Using a mixture of genuine and synthetic faceted stones are another excellent choice in making wire wrapped jewelry.
Gold, silver and any plated beads are good, as are high quality, hand-made glass beads. Quality, texture and clarity are all essential in making beautiful wire wrapped jewelry. Wire wrapped jewelry pieces are normally, one of a kind, and will set you apart from all others. This jewelry makes a statement when worn by an individual.
The Process
Making wire wrapped jewelry into art depends mainly on the quality of your materials. Not only do your stones and beads have to be superior, but the jewelry components need to be high quality as well. Many wire wrapped jewelers make their own components. They are already skilled at wire wrapping, therefore, making wire wrapped jewelry components is only natural, and it also sets their jewelry apart from the next artist.
The wire that is used should be sterling silver or gold-filled wire. The stones are taken and literally wrapped with wire. Rings that are wrapped are especially breathtaking. The settings are made of wrapped wire as well. The combination of the two makes an incredible work of beautiful art.
Pendants are also very popular in wire wrapped settings. They give the stone a bit of personality. Taking three wires and making a thin braid to wrap a stone is also very beautiful. Many artists are known by their specific style of wire wrapping.
The buyer can give the artist a stone to wrap specifically for them. The buyer will then designate whether they want a ring, necklace or bracelet. Many artists market themselves with this personal service. They eventually generate their business more from word of mouth, than any other marketing technique. Having the knowledge as to the mystical powers of each stone can also be quite helpful.
The general jewelry buying population really loves purchasing wrapped stones that will bring them wealth, health or happiness. Making wire wrapped jewelry is a healing and, it can turn out to be a beautiful and wealthy profession.

What do you call this rainbow glass ball?
I’ve usually seen it set in a pendant with a dolphin wrapped around it. It looks clear from one angle, and then it changes to like blue or green or purple, etc whenever you view it from a different angle. Please Help!
It will be either crystal or diamond.
