Wire Wrap Artistry



Wire wrapping jewelries have been in existence for more than 1000 years, at the time of the Phoenician Empire.
Inspired by this timeless elegance, wire wrapping is another technique used by Kakalina's to showcase variety in her collection. Each piece is passionately hand crafted, hammered (for texture), filed, & linked with various beads, pendants, jewels, findings, etc. by the artisan.
Wires can be customized (non-tarnished, sterling silver, gold-filled, etc.) based on clients' preference. The price is dependent on intricacy of work or materials.
This image is a sample of the recent work added to Kakalina's. Lampwork, wooden, silver, and ceramic beads were used and linked with gauge 20 non-tarnish silver wire. The pendant is chunky at 3 inches wide and 5 inches long. An absoute stunner. Altogether this neckpiece is 22 inches end-to-end. For more products, please visit www.kakalinasaccesories.artfire.com
