Why Wire Wrapping?
Creating a beautiful cabochon is only half the battle. Unless you have metalsmithing skills, turning that stone into wearable art can be challenging. Wire wrapping is an accessible and elegant solution.
Essential Tools
- Flush Cutters: To ensure clean wire ends.
- Round-Nose Pliers: To create loops and curves.
- Flat-Nose Pliers: For gripping and straightening wire.
Getting started with a simple pendant wrap using dead-soft copper wire is the best way to practice securing your stone without obscuring its natural beauty.
