Wire Crochet and Wrapped Jewelry by TrishBrooks

Posted: 13 Nov 2011 05:16 AM PST

It really pays to learn new techniques. That way you can combine them to create unique designs.  One shining example is Maryland-based Trish Brooks whose designs are truly original.

What Trish does is marry two forms of wire work. She makes beautiful free form wire work pendants which go with her wire crochet necklaces.


When Trish retired, she rejoiced in making crochet hats and scarves for family, friends and the homeless.


Her epiphany came when she found out one could crochet with wire. So she started experimenting and came up with her own distinct style of jewelry making.


This form of crochet gives her even greater pleasure now.  She says, " I could help homeless people more by selling my jewelry and giving a percentage to charities that help people struggling from poverty or hardship."

  6. White gold is yellow. Not yellow like an omelette, but it is yellow. It appears white in a jewellery store, and it costs less than platinum, but over time white gold may return to its original colour. Your white gold jewellery could need to be whitened again and again, a process that will make a bigger dent in your savings than a platinum ring would. mens amethyst ring
