Hi, I'm Chris and launched this business in 2008, because I enjoy what I'm doing and wanted people to see that not all rocks have to be diamonds and such. I learned to facet and cabochon stones at Lapidary Arts of Charlotte in Matthews N.C (Ruby and Joe you guys are great thanks for everything), then learned to wire wrap from a wonderful teacher by the name of Barbara and practiced for a few years before I started the business. Well. it's been a few years and things are going good, made great friends and my family seem to have become a rock hounds too. So onward to new styles of designs and more things to try, even trying new wires and techniques.
Have rocks of all colors and patterns, you would be surprised of amount of rock you collect doing this but polishing them is so much fun, you never know what get til it's done.
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 I have to start all over, even at the end I can get a scratch.
A cabochon is a smooth domed stone or gem, polished but not faceted.
There are 2 types of cabochons, a free form cabochon that works with the shape of the stone or a templated cabochon that works with most 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: $30.00 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.
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!!!!
