Wire Jewelry Tutorials

Making your own beautiful wire art jewelry is gonna get a whole lot easier with my complete wire jewelry tutorials. From this page you'll find instructions on making head pins, links, jump rings. You'll learn the skills of hammering and texturing, coiling wire, cutting your own jump rings, finishing techniques, and much more.

Some tutorials are free. Others are available for a nominal charge. In any case, I do ask two small favors. These tutorials are for your use only, so please do not copy, share or distribute them. And please give a note of credit to me for any jewelry that you create using my tutorials.

Confused about all the wire terminology? Just follow these links to better understand the various jewelry wire metals and the best gauge of wire to use in your jewelry project. And what exactly is wire hardness?

I also offer complete "parts kits" for some of the tutorials so that you can start making your jewelry immediately without chasing down materials and tools.

I hope you enjoy these tutorials and I'd love to see your completed works and feature them in my student jewelry gallery.
