Wire wrapping is exactly what it sounds like: wrapping things in wire. Unlike a lot of jewellery making, wire wrapping does not typically use any torches, solders, chemicals or glues to join the pieces. The wire is wrapped around itself and the accents to create beautiful, unique pieces.

The beauty of this technique is that it is difficult to do industrially. Most wire wrapping is hand made by individuals with a lot of patience and love for the craft.

The art was first practised by the Ancient Egyptians and continues to be a beloved craft today. Here are a bunch of deviants who use this technique to craft some truly amazing pieces.
