Wire-wrapped Gemstone Charms for PIllows, Purse Charms, Keychains

These are handmade, wire-wrapped gemstone charms that were designed to enhance my pillows. - particularly the black & white and black & natural collections shown here - but they are also lovely to attach to just about anything - including purses. They can also be used as keychains or just decorator pieces.

A lot of people believe that gemstones have spiritual meaning and specific healing powers. I am among those people and have therefore included cards that describe the meaning of the gemstone you select. These cards are illustrated in one of the photographs included here.

Some of the pillows in my collections have tabs incorporated into the design to accommodate the charms, but clips are provided with each charm that enable it to hang from any of the designs by attaching it to the piping that is used to trim all of my pillows. With your own collection of pillows, perhaps some that don't have piping, you can simply attach the clips to the top portion of the fabric - particularly one that is not flimsy, but of a heavier weight -since these gemstones are heavier than the other charms offered. Check out our other charms for lighter alternative options.

Three of the four selections - an oval black agate, a natural Howlite, and an oblong black agate - are embellished with a sterling silver wire-wrapped design. No two are the same. The components of the black onyx are also wrapped, but with black wire sans any flourish (all of the jump rings are hand-wrapped). They measure approximately 6.5 inches in length.


What is wire wrapping? It's is one of the oldest techniques for making handmade jewelry that involves the skillful shaping of wire to make and attach components. The additional creative "sculpting" of the wire is often combined as an element of design Because of this technique for wrapping wire around itself, the craft is called wire wrapping.
