Description
This handmade copper wire-wrapped ring is a “statement” piece featuring a multi-stone design and intricate wirework. It is an example of artisan jewelry often created using wire wrapping and weaving techniques.
Design & Materials
The ring is constructed with
solid copper wire that has been hand-formed and woven into a thick, textured band. It incorporates three distinct gemstones secured within the wire structure:
- Focal Stone: A large, raw reddish-brown Jasper natural stones “caged” at the center.
- Green Bead: A polished spherical green Jade.
- Black Bead: A faceted black Onyx.
Style & Artisan Techniques
- Woven Band: The band itself is composed of multiple parallel copper wires bound together by fine-gauge wire-weaving, a technique that adds both durability and a sophisticated filigree look.
- “Paleo” or Boho Aesthetic: This style is often referred to as “Paleo” because it avoids heat or soldering, relying instead on sophisticated mechanical wire work.
- Customization: Pieces like this are frequently one-of-a-kind and can be found on artisan platforms like Etsy or at specialized studios.
Care and Properties
- Tarnish: Natural copper will oxidize over time, developing an aged, bronze-like lustre. Some copper used in jewelry is manufactured with a coating to prevent this and keep the metal bright.
