    Stones For Wire-Wrapping + Beads + Crystals

    If you’re interested in wire-wrapping jewelry , you’re going to need something to wrap.

    For beginners, beads are a good option because you can feed the wire through the hole which easily secures them in place. I like to use a variety of gemstone beads.

    Crystal points are also another option for beginners. Check out my tutorial below to see how easy it is to wire-wrap a crystal pendant.

    If you want to learn how to wire-wrap stones without holes, you will need come cabochons. Cabochons are stones with a flat back. These come in different types of material, sizes and shapes.

    Another option is to use irregular shaped stones but these can be trickier to wrap because of their shape.

    I buy my stones online and locally. They are not hard to find and are relatively inexpensive (depending on stone of course).

    There are many Facebook groups where you can find gemstone dealers but be careful – only buy from reputable sources.

    Last year I bought amber stones from a dealer that I met on Facebook. She sent me orange plastic pebbles. It was so obvious that they were fake….anyways I filed a complaint with Paypal and got my money back….so be careful!

    Michael’s has a decent selection of beads for anyone who is starting out. You can also check out your local crystal shop. This option is handy because you can buy a handful of stones without breaking the bank.
