Findings HEADING_TITLE
Each and every earring, bracelet, and necklace created at Handcrafted Jewelry by Jessica is made using the highest quality findings. These components are usually hard to see because they are hidden beneath beautiful Swarovski Crystals, Lampwork Beads, and Semi-Precious Stones. Here are some of the special "ingredients" I use to ensure your jewelry will wear well over time...

Earring Findings

I choose Sterling Silver and Gold Filled findings to create each pair of earrings. These higher quality materials do not contain nickel which tends to irritate sensitive ears. The headpins are wire used to thread through crystals, beads, and semi-precious stones holding them securely in place.

Sterling Silver Clasps

Here are some examples of Sterling Silver clasps used to close bracelets and necklaces. There are lobster claw clasps, hook and eye clasps, and toggle clasps to choose from. Each is unique, and there is a style to compliment any design. Please contact me for availability.

Sterling Silver Beads

Sterling Silver beads add a "wow" factor to many designs. They can be a subtle compliment, such as the solid SS round beads, or they can play an integral part of a pattern. The intricate designs on the handcrafted SS Bali beads are incredible, and can trasform a plain piece of jewelry into a work or art.

Stringing Materials
Here is the secret to making sure your Handcrafted Jewelry looks elegant and still has the strength to wear well over time.  Each bracelet and necklace is strung on Accu-Flex beading wire, which is secured to its clasp by Sterling Silver or Gold Filled crimp beads.  This nylon coated stainless steel wire has a test strength of 14 pounds, which means you can wear your jewelry with confidence.  Accu-Flex allows for freedom of movement while remaining flexible, not stiff.
I also use high quality Sterling Silver and Gold Filled wire to individually hand wrap Swarovski crystals, lampwork beads, and semi-precious stones, which are then connected by even more precious metal jump rings!
