Wire Jewelry Inspiration for Sept 17, 2014

Creating Bracelets with Pattern Wire

This week I wanted to share a submission by one of our friends and instructors Rhonda Chase. Rhonda has given us several jewelry tips and patterns in the past including the Birds Nest Pendant and Earrings.  She was also one of our  Wire Jewelry Artist of the Month in 2011.

Rhonda shared with us two recently completed projects using Pattern Wire and I thought you would enjoy seeing them.

Both the Cherry Drops Bracelet and the Amber Waves Wire Wrapped Bracelet were accented with metal dyes and then sealed with a clear sealant.

Here’s how she created these beautiful pieces!

Cherry Drops Bracelet:

  • Rhonda cut and filed sections of patterned copper wire and they were brushed with a Birchwood Casey M24 patina and buffed with a rubber Dremel bit.
  • Holes were punched with a helicopter punch.
  • The sections were accented with color using solvent dyes by Sculpt Nouveau.
  • Copper jump rings and wire wrapped cherry quartz drops finish the piece adding lots of movement.

Happy Wrapping!

    These bracelets are absolutely beautiful! Very nice Rhonda, and a great inspiration as well. Going to try this idea in SS pattern wire, wishing I could afford a rolling mill. LOL Thanks again.

    What beautiful bracelets. I especially love the simple but interesting look of the Amber Waves bracelet and I’m equally impressed with the clasp. Thank you so much for sharing this.
