What is Wire Art or Wire Work Jewelry? Wire work jewelry is an art form dating back nearly 5,000 years that has recently taken its rightful place in the fine jewelry market. No glue or solder is used in the construction of the jewelry and the sculpting is done solely by strong fingers with the help of a few small hand-held tools. Because wire work jewelry is completely hand-crafted, no piece can be replicated exactly which ensures the wearer a truly unique piece of art jewelry.
Gold-filled vs Gold-plated Gold-fill is unlike
gold-plate in that gold-fill is generally considered a lifetime product and
will not tarnish or wear off like electroplated products will. Gold-fill
contains 100 times the amount of gold than gold-plate!
Bali Sterling Silver The distinctive styling of a Bali sterling is apparent by the intricate detail and high quality of their beads and other components. Each one is individually crafted by an extremely labor-intensive process requiring tremendous skill and patience. The Balinese silversmiths devote the same attentive care into each bead that they put into all aspects of their ceremonial life. Perhaps this is why we find the Balinese components so irresistible. It’s not just a bead, but the reflection of a culture; the people, their perfectionism, and the devotion to their work which denotes each piece a work of art. |
