Make Sure Your Jewelry Doesn’t Scratch You! By Delilah

Wire Jewelry Tip for June 13th, 2017
Make sure your jewelry doesn’t scratch you!
by Delilah
I’m talking about the ends of the wires when your projects are finished. Always check them to be well tucked into the main wires, and carefully hidden. Use your flat nose pliers and press them tightly against supporting wire. And always make sure the ends are on the backside of the project.
This way your jewelry will be not only safe for your customer’s skin, but it will be beautifully and professionally executed. This will not only get you great feedback, but your own sense of personal satisfaction and pride.
Happy Wrapping!

I even mention to my customers & potential customers that all my jewelry has been wear-tested to make sure there are no wires sticking out to hurt them.

I also check that no piece is unbalanced & needs constant correction.
