Hello, I'm Mary, the artist for TheWireWench.
"Wench" is an archaic term that refers to a girl or young woman, especially a buxom or lively one. A girl using wire to create beautiful jewelry, that is the thought behind the name. I used to be very lively, but through time I have slowed down a bit. I am now 74 years old and have cancer, but I am a survivor.
I have inoperable cataracts therefore I have impaired vision. This is truly a labor of love, for it takes it toll on my hands and eyes but there is a great feeling of accomplishment when the item is completed.
There is something special about things made by human hands that cannot be duplicated by machines. A little bit of the soul of the person who creates something becomes part of the object created. That is what is so unique and wonderful about handmade.
I have created artful jewelry for many years. I enjoy the time spent trying to create something that did not exist before my hands touched it. Each stone is wrapped with wire in a special way to enhance the stone. No two stones are every wrapped the same. Each piece is hand made and never duplicated, therefore each piece you purchase is "one of a kind" jewelry. Each piece is handcrafted and custom designed.
TheWireWench is an array of unique, hand-crafted jewelry inspired by nature and all its beauty. The use of colors, textures of our natural surroundings are in each piece of jewelry created. Earthy, semi-precious gemstones are selected not only for their beauty, but are also beneficial to the mind, body and spirit. Natural gems, brought together with sterling silver and copper create wearable designs that promotes, health, healing, and happiness.
