What is wire Jewellery? How is it different 
It is one of the most primitive techniques of making jewellery, yet not so popular. As usually jewellery is made from precious metals like gold, silver, platinum and by embedding semi-precious and precious stones, but wire jewellery is an innovative art. In this technique small, big, elegant and fine pieces of metal thread like strands are linked together by either simple loops, hooks etc. or by adhesives which are robust and can hold heavy duty decorative shapes permanently.

Although the idea of making wire jewellery sounds weird, it is a fun and a popular DIY activity of summer boot champs which teach young adults creative methods to make artefacts like bracelets, chains, pendants, rings, ear-rings, clips, brooches etc. The essential products as well as tools to start are mentioned below elaborately to help to start.
