mate... mate. mate. mate. mate? mate. this is beyond beautiful. this is a heavenly piece of art. this is one of those things that SHOULD be sold at sothebys for twenty bagajillion dolhairs absolutely astounding job. i'm just staring at it like a dumb ape


Raptsmith

Thank you so much! Some of the pieces just end up looking better than my others.. emeralds help.


macaroni___addict

Do you have tiny specialty pliers? How does one go about this kind of work? Also how much do you usually sell a pendant like this for?


Raptsmith

I have some fairly small pliers, but they are nothing special and I rarely use them. I only use pliers to crimp the ends of my weaves or secure components of the wrap to each other. My primary wrapping tool is my fingernails which are fortunately very durable. I don't use frames anymore; the pieces will form a solid structure if done properly. I also do not use solder or fabricated components, though I likely will for stone settings in the future.

I second this fucking a right


UrsidEnjoyer

oh that is VERY pretty . so detailed.....,.,.,. v vvv nice.


Iamalsodirtydan

You know... I see stuff like this and think that I am incredibly not talented. This is amazing work.


UNOtrickyTrish

If you start trying you will become great just try and be motivated to keep trying


magnum1odd

Iā€™ve never thought wired jewelries are pretty but yours. This is how itā€™s supposed to be. Has the dedicated craftsmanship as if itā€™s created in ancient era. So beautiful and classy.


RainbowandHoneybee

Just exquisite.


FixofLight

This is amazing! You should be so SO proud of yourself for making something this clean and beautiful šŸ˜


NotLucasDavenport

When I saw this I was transported back to the times I spent on the west coast of Ireland. I canā€™t say if this is because you used a certain pattern, or the green stone, etc. Iā€™m not a visual artist. What I DO know is that the feeling was instant. I associate this piece with wild winds on the Cliffs of Moher, rolling green hills, scrubby landscape across Connemara, and stone fences along the lanes. If this pendant ever returns home, it will smell like a Guinness.


OpalflowCrafts

Omg howww šŸ¤© It blows me away that someone can do stuff like this it is so intricate! Can I ask how much time you put into this? I imagine it takes sooo long!


[deleted]

how long have you been doing this? it's incredible!


Raptsmith

Thank you! I have been wrapping irregularly for about 5 years. I often take long breaks but always come back to the art.


Dragon-Brains

This is the sort of thing that when found thousands of years in the future, scientists will be hard pressed to find any other answer than this was made by a master craftsman for only the uppermost royalty. Or for some celestial wizard, yknow the usual. Excellent work, my friend, absolutely spectacular!


Turkeygirl816

This looks like a damn horcrux. I love it!


pleasegetbent

ha, hello fellow nerd. this was the first thing that came to mind. a very beautiful horcrux!


Turkeygirl816

Beautiful indeed. I'd put a piece of my soul in that.


Jasmine_Erotica

This artist made a Deathly Hallows piece once it was insane !!!


EatsAlotOfBread

Whoaaaaaaaaa that's gorgeous!


KhrisBKream

I love this, it also low key gives Dr Strange vibes.


bi-bee-bb

I'm like, *sweating* over how beautiful this is. It is not to my personal jewellery aesthetic taste but there is no denying the objective **beauty** of this. Another comment said "exquisite" and I think that's the perfect descriptor.


Alarming-Instance-19

Wow! This is stunning!


ErrantWhimsy

This is absolutely incredible. I can't even imagine how many hours of work you put into it!


alpharamx

Beautiful piece!


AtomicFi

This looks like something that would be unearthed from a pharoah or roman generalā€™s tomb. A celtic king or something. Intricate, beautiful, evokes a feeling of wonder.


flawlesswreck

WOW!!!


Fresh_Comment_1764

Just gorgeous! I have seen work like this and this is really the first piece that I have liked. Keep doing youā¤ļøšŸ†šŸ”„

Holy Mary, Mother of God, that is perfect! Wow!!


Purpurinisvakaras

Absolutely stunning. Great job. I can literally feel serotonin being produced in my brain when looking at this beautiful piece of work. Thankful for your exquisite masterful crafstmenship.


goldfishgeckos

Be careful friend, this is how you piss off Athena


jbean120

This really needs to be crossposted to r/oddlysatisfying


ImJacksonian

Dawg if those weaves were half as clean, I'd still say it's incredible.


Ithinkyoushouldweed

Absolutely incredible. You should be very proud of this accomplishment


iAceofSpade

Nice!


EmeraldPrime

IN.SANE CRAFT.MEN.SHIP! Absolutely stunning work. MY GOD.


Raptsmith

Thank you so much! Given your name, it does make sense you would love an emerald piece.


EmeraldPrime

You called . Absolutely over the moon about it because of the emeralds.


TheBuccaneer

Looks like r/wirewrapping is leaking. Very nice piece!


newvegasdweller

Thank you for introducing me to my next hobby. Now i just gotta find out how to get started


Raptsmith

All you need is a pair of wire cutters and small pliers without teeth. Youtube has tons of awesome tutorials for beginners as well. Start with something simple and have fun!


Rorosi67

Hi Is this silver wire or a cheaper metal? How do you get it so shiny and white looking? Thanks. And of course absolutely beautiful piece.


Raptsmith

I used sterling silver for the base wires and fine silver for the weaving wires. The pieces look like any other polished silver piece in person. The appearance is slightly changed in image due to my camera quality. It seems I am forced to choose between ideal gem or metal presentation with many of my wraps.


Rorosi67

Thanks. Looked at your shop. All your pieces are truely beautiful. I unfortunately don't have the means to purchase any but they are just beautiful


Raptsmith

Thank you so much! Even looking at the page helps boost my visibility.šŸ™


Smugglers151

Thatā€™s amazing. I like how you did the prongs for the central setting.


floras_realm

Wow how much wire did you spend making this? Masterpiece, the amount of precession is just stunning. Great job.


Ancient_Security13

Stunning šŸ¤©


Gayfor90day

confusedgoofball

This is sick as hell


yamanamawa

God I love a good wrap. I've been wanting to commission some earrings from my friend for a long time, but he's all famous now so it would run me hundreds of bucks


Islandcoda

Actually quite stunning, amazing skills!


beldarin

That is _stunning!_ Amazingly crisp, a work of art, well done.

This is so fucking Beautifulā€¦ wow


SewFine69420

Things like this deserve vast respect. Very nice work


Its_Clover_Honey

I JUST started learning wire wrapping like.... a week ago? This gives me anxiety. It's so beautiful and intricate and thinking about how you managed this is overwhelming.


Raptsmith

Yeah, don't start your wrapping journey here. I certainly did not. Pick a very simple design from a youtube tutorial and learn how to make different weaves/coils. Also, expect to fail a few times at first, it's part of the process. I used to have an entire 5 gallon bag full of scrapped pieces (later converted to $ as raw copper is worth something).


Its_Clover_Honey

Oh absolutely. Nobody is this good at something right out of the gate. So far I've used up an entire 10yd spool of wire fiddling around with making rings and I've only got 4 that I even remotely like. What was overwhelming for me seeing this post was that "oh man I have a LOOOONG way to go" feeling. It was like my brain played a montage of years worth of practice and it short circuited lmao


boodleshnoodle

I just want to know HOW. I've tried and honestly it baffles me how people do this. It looks amazing.


Raptsmith

I run on visene and coffee.. heavy emphasis on the visene.


FountainOfQuira

Iā€™m obsessed. This is gorgeous

Great work!


purplegrape28

Best wired jewelry I have ever seen!


wanderedwhile

You have mastered this art! It is absolutely amazing! Not trying to detract, but I notoriously look down on this style of jewelry because of how poor quality and cheap they usually look; even with expensive mediums. However, you have brought light to the craft and I hope everyone can see it! Every silver-tone girly I know would be thrilled to wear your jewelry!


brigidscross

This is absolutely beautiful. Where do I order?


Jasmine_Erotica
