I have been creating wire wraps for about 3 years. When i first noticed this artform on Phish tour, i was immediately enthralled by the mineral specimens that people were using. After about a year of getting into gems, i made my first order of silver. I was self taught for about 8 months, till Theodore of Infinity Project showed me some techniques that really helped my work progress. I have gone through many phases and styles in my 3 years, and i plan to keep going until i reach a new level. I have been taking silversmithing classes and am learning stonesetting to add a new element in my pieces. Everything you see here is available for sale, unless noted otherwise. If you like something, please dont be shy! Conctact me via Email with any questions on pieces, or custom orders-Biscoben22@yahoo.com Thank you for your interest and support!

This piece is a custom for my friend Chris from Asheville. He gave me a huge lemon quartz facet the same size as this Citrine, i really cant recall the carat weight of these stones. but they were equal. This piece was the first time i encorporated sheet silver formed into these horn like shapes. I formed each of these and soldered them into a frame, then wire wrapped the rest of the piece. Im happy with the outcome and would like to use more of these spiculum shapes in my pieces. Sterling and Fine silver Large oval citrine facet this piece is NFS thanks for looking at my work
