Frequently Asked Questions
What is wire-wrapped jewelry?
Wire-wrapped jewelry uses shaped wire to hold or frame a stone without relying on a traditional setting. The wire becomes part of the design, and its form can vary from one handmade piece to another.
Can I request a custom design?
You can contact Elm City Wireworks to ask about a custom piece. Share the stone or colors you have in mind, how you plan to wear it, and any style preferences. Availability and design options can be discussed directly.
What materials are used?
Materials can vary by piece. Ask about the specific wire, stone, and finish for an item you are considering, especially if you have preferences related to color, weight, or how you plan to wear the jewelry.
How should I care for my jewelry?
Store jewelry in a dry place, separate from other pieces to reduce tangling and scratches. Avoid harsh cleaners and prolonged moisture. For care advice tailored to a particular stone or wire, ask about that item.
How do I find out what is available?
