Ladies you know we love colors and we love to mix-n-match colors to compliment an outfit for the night, a day in the office or just going out and about. Here are a couple of ear decorations that can fit any of those occasions and more! They have color, they have style and they have a uniqueness that is noticeable. Custom wire art at its best let me tell you! (From left to right) Custom requested gold plated ear cuff with swarvoski crystal. Copper n aluminum coil earrings aluminum is textured!

Birthday pendant

One of my good friends asked me to wire wrap a jade gemstone and make it into a pendant! I was definitely honored to do so!! I used goldtone wire to wrap the gem and create the loop for the necklace. I was there when it was presented and she absolutely loved it! Im happy that I could contribute to her birthday happiness!

Jewelry Did You Knows!

Hey Everyone! Persia Red blogging once more! It has definitely been a while since I have blogged! So much has gone on in my jewelry world n other dimensions of my life that I was dragged away! BUT now I'm back and I have some Jewelry did you knows as far as gems and wires are concerned! I encourage both men and women to read this because it may definitely influence your next order from me or any other jeweler.

Wires!
Did you know that most craft wires and plated wires have a core metal of brass or copper? A lot of ppl are jaded to plated gold or silver because of its tarnishing effects and they are allergic!! Well come to find out many ppl actually wear copper jewelry and DO NOT have allergies to them. So what I found is that plated jewelry and craft wire made of brass causes the allergic reactions! (meaning  you are allergic to brass). All of my plated and craft wire use copper as a core metal which means....Yup! You got it. No allergic reaction unless you are allergic to copper! As far tarnishing goes, all of my wire are non tarnish so they wont but you must realize because of the oil and acids in our skin, it causes both brass and copper to change color if it does not say non tarnish! Wow! 
But you can definitely request that I use certain wires over others! As i said i have craft wire, which comes in an array of colors that i use to wrap frames or accent pieces, plated wire (gold and silver), filled wire ( gold and silver wire but contains more gold and silver than the core copper wire), Argentium Silver wire (which is as precious as sterling silver but has a shinier gloss than sterling silver). I can also get vermeil, stainless steel, gold and sterling silver wire also!








 



 Gemstones and Their Meanings!
So most ppl are not familiar with ALL the gemstones that are out here! I will give names, colors and meaning or what they are good for to only a couple. You should really do some research on gemstones as they add a rare, exotic look to any piece!
