Hi and welcome, I'm Chris, and as you can see I like rocks, all kinds of rocks. I started doing this in 2007 just to try it out and it just clicked. I believe that rocks, all rocks, are beautiful not just the gemstones like emeralds, rubies, sapphires and so on. Wire wrapping started by watching someone do it, took a class and did a lot of practicing. My wire wrapping is different and unique, it can be simple to ornate.
The cabochons you see are not polished in a tumbler, they are done, one at a time on a polisher with 6 different polishing wheels from rough to fine. At any time a scratch can form and you have to start all over, even at the end you can get a scratch.
A cabochon is a smooth domed stone or gem, polished but not faceted.
For more information on this, please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabochon
There are 2 types of cabochons:
free form cabochon that works with the shape of the stone
templated cabochon that works with jewelry settings
Prices for wire wrapping: (does not include the cost of the cabochon)
Silver or Gold toned wire: $10.00 +/-
Sterling silver wire: $20.00 +/-
14 carat gold filled wire: $40.00 +/-
Cabochon Service: $20.00 on up, depending on stone/gem type
The jewelry and cabs in the gallery are for sale, just click on the piece you like and check the info.
If you are looking for a type of stone or a certain color please let me know, I just might have something for you. I do have an extensive collection
All wire wraps are one-of-a-kind, so you get your own unique piece of jewelry, custom made for you.
I accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and money orders.
Just a note, my logo was created by a very good friend Mike Bocianowski, creator of Yets. Please visit his site ...http://www.artistmb.com/, you'll enjoy it.
Thanks again Mike!!!!
