As a jewelry artisan, that employs more then just one technique to making jewelry. The technique I use most often are Wire wrapping, Chainmaille, Wire Weaving, and Beading. The metals I use most often are Argentium Silver, Silver-filled, Gold & Rose Gold Filled, Yellow & Red Brass, 316L Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Anodized Aluminium, Niobium, Bronze, and German Made Gold Plated Copper. I like to work with round, half round, and square wire, in gauges ranging from 26 to 12. Although I use many different styles and forms of beads, for my jewelry, I&＃039;m partial to the genuine gemstones, porcelain cameos, and Crystals.
