About me
Hi, my name is Diana Hunter
and I run a small hobby business making tiaras and jewellery. I have since
branched out into a new hobby called wire wrapped jewellery. Wire wrapping
dates back to the pharaohs in Egypt. I use semi
precious stones, e.g. fluorite, amethyst, mother of pearl etc. then I
wrapped them using 14ct gold fill or sterling silver wire, to make
pendants. I can also use these wires to make bracelets, earrings and
rings.
What is Gold fill?
Gold fill is a manufacturing
process whereby a gold 'sandwich' is created, gold on the outside and a
base metal on the inside. The gold is permanently bonded under enormous
pressure to the surface of the base metal in a milling process which
results in a gold surface about 100 times thicker than conventional gold
plating. The material produced is about 5% gold. But it is far more
durable than mere gold electroplating. In appearance jewellery produced
with 14ct gold fill is identical to jewellery produced with 14ct solid
gold. And even in the most extreme circumstances, gold fill will not 'wear
off' as is commonly the case with items which have been merely gold
plated.
