Jeannette Rowlett:
Wire Wrapped Jewelry Artist & Designer

Jeannette only uses simple tools, consisting of a ruler, marking pen, variety of pliers and files, vises, mallets, wooden dowels, ring and wrist mandrels, holding wire, tape, and her hands, to gently complete the piece, in the ancient, non-solder method.

Working the wire involves the measuring, cutting, using the tools for bending, twisting, pounding and curling the wire. She carefully wraps and works the wire to connect integral parts and place embellishments. The gently nudging, smoothing, softening, shaping and polishing the lines, of the piece, bring it to life, as a beautiful work of art, to be worn with confidence and pride.
