Handcrafted Wire Wrapped Pendants - A Creative, Yet Affordable Work of Art

Handcrafted wire wrapped pendants are all the rage this season. New wire wrapping techniques bring the fun back into jewelry fundamentals. Gone are the gaudy wire pendants that Grandma used to wear. Today's pendant styles add color, function, and fun to the picture.

The first thing to do is to explore lots of websites, and find a style that attracts your eye. For a pendant that will transfer from the office to dinner, look for styles that offer simple swirls or a touch of silver lending interest to the pattern on the stone or bead.

The next thing is to determine your budget. Wire wrapped pendants, depending on the amount of labor involved in the wirework and type of wire used, can range in price from $20 to well over $200. There is something for everyone.

Surprisingly, genuine gemstone pendants can be very affordable. Gemstones come in a wide range of colors, from the ultra popular fuschia pink, to a subtle brown or beige combination.

For a pendant that you want to wear often, choose one that contains a color that you normally wear. Blue gemstones or beads combined with silver wire wrapping are a great combination to wear with jeans. Neutral colors can blend into many outfits and make you look like you spent a fortune, even if you didn't.

An added benefit of choosing a gemstone pendant is that gemstones have been reported to have differing healing properties associated with different gemstones. If the artist provides an identification of the type of gemstone, you can choose a gemstone based on the desired healing properties that you're looking for.

Finally, you might want to look for an artist that you can contact easily for a custom piece. Custom handcrafted jewelry is often more affordable than you would expect, and you end up with a one of a kind work of wearable art that will bring droves of compliments to you for years to come.
