Every Stone Gets a Setting Worth the Stone
For the jewelry maker who wraps stones in copper and sterling, has a drawer of rough cabochons, and considers pliers an extension of their hands.
Beadsmith 3-Piece Round Nose and Chain Nose Plier Set
Smooth-jaw pliers that make coils without leaving tool marks in soft wire — the upgrade that wire wrapping students reach for once they understand why their first pliers leave dents in copper. A three-piece set covers the basic shaping, forming, and gripping tools without redundancy.
“The one reliable rule of gift-giving: anything that makes them look more serious at what they love will be received with disproportionate gratitude.”
Parawire 20 Gauge Dead Soft Sterling Silver Wire — 10ft
Dead-soft wire wraps and bends without spring-back — the temper that wire wrapping requires rather than the half-hard wire that beginners mistakenly start with. 20-gauge is the working gauge for most stone wraps, and 10ft is the quantity that lets an intermediate maker complete several pieces before ordering again.
Indie Designer Cabochon Mixed Stone Lot — 10 Pieces
A mixed-stone lot of natural cabochons — labradorite, jasper, moonstone, and carnelian — that gives a wire wrapper varied shapes and colors to design around. The gift that provides months of material to work with and introduces stones the maker might not have sought out independently.
Sunshine Polishing Cloths — 48 Pack
Treated polishing cloths that remove oxidation and restore luster to copper and silver in a single pass — the finishing step that separates a completed piece from a finished piece. Wire wrappers go through these at a rate that makes bulk the only sensible purchase.
Bracelet Mandrel and Ring Mandrel Set — Aluminum
Forming mandrels make consistent sizing possible for cuffs and rings that need to match a specific diameter rather than an approximation. The tool that wire wrapping jewelers move to when they start taking custom sizing commissions seriously.
