Beads and wire jewellery collection

We are pleased to introduce you to De fils en perles, our DIY costume jewellery collection of the month of January. This selection of tutorials focuses on trendy and original jewellery, made with metallic threads, gemstones and fresh water pearls. We like the mix of the robustness of metal with the softness of pearly beads and the singularity of natural stones.

You will find original earrings, accumulations of bracelets to decorate your wrists, pendants mounted on a chain. Whether timeless, ethnic, classic, glamorous, refined, fine, chic or bohemian, these creations are sure to surprise and seduce you... Their feminine side will enhance all your outfits in every moment of the day and evening.

Metallic threads are essential and indispensable in the creation of handmade jewellery. They are used to make your own custom-made finishes, to fix your pearls on a support but also to use the wire wrapping technique. Whether you are part of the gold or silver jewellery team, you will certainly find the right one for you.

What is wire wrapping?
Once again, this jewellery technique is back in the spotlight, even though it dates back to the dawn of time. It is the art of wrapping wire around a gemstone or pearl to set them or create simple or complex designs. The result is an original and unique piece of jewellery.
It is a good method to personalise your DIY creations. Easier to handle than you might think, your wires will help you create many unique pieces of jewellery. All it takes is a little dexterity and, above all, practice.

Which wire to use for wire wrapping?
Square, round, flat, silver, gold filled or copper... the choice is yours! The most important thing is that your wire is flexible and rigid at the same time so that it can be shaped and deformed.

Before you start, we give you some tips and tricks to get you started in wire-wrapping. It's up to you!
