Wire crochet is ve...Great question Kisa!! Thanks!!<br /><br />Wire crochet is very durable and holds up the regular wear. I have a necklace that is the very first piece that I made. It is out of crappy wire and I have worn it a lot and never had any problems. The wire I use now is 500 times better!<br /><br />Also I have improved my designs to make the more durable for everyday wear.<br /><br />Obviously if working in the garden and a lot of out door rough work is what you would be doing then you would probably want to get one of my more durable cuffs that aren't made of wire.<br /><br />But for regular wear you should never have any problems. And in the unlikely even something does go wrong with it. I offer a lifetime warranty so all you have to do is send it to me and I will fix it!<br /><br />Thanks again everyone!! You have all been very helpful!!MegsCrochetJewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652257778384918875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567389246201614694.post-55983528309562362732011-01-30T17:20:56.434-08:002011-01-30T17:20:56.434-08:00I Love your stuff you are so sweet!!!

I guess the only question is, is how tough is crocheted jewelry? Will it last through wear and tear. LIke your Cuffs are SOOOO gorgeous, but can I wear them more then a handful of times, or will they start to come undone? Silly question I'm sure, but I really can't think of anything to ask.Kisahttp://jewelrykidsandlife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567389246201614694.post-39884712950654910422011-01-27T14:58:01.544-08:002011-01-27T14:58:01.544-08:00Thanks for the post DoBats!:)
Great question! The...Thanks for the post DoBats!:)<br /><br />Great question! The wire is very thin and once crocheted it creates a wonderful weave. It is smooth and flexible. As Celine mentioned above they are very comfortable to wear:)<br /><br />The only snags I ever get with my own jewelry that I wear is my thumb ring. It will pull my hair a little with I put my hair up. More because of the beads on the edges than the wire. I think I like the other version of that ring better for everyday wear that has the beads in the body of the ring. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=2153487<br /><br />Thanks again guys and keep the comments coming and do feel free to share!:)MegsCrochetJewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652257778384918875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567389246201614694.post-70018404413777238572011-01-27T12:44:05.578-08:002011-01-27T12:44:05.578-08:00Your work is beautiful!

I know that one question I had initially about crochet jewelry (though you answered it for me on the forums) is whether the wire is "bendy" or holds its shape, and whether it has edges that could get caught on something. So, I'll pose that question in case anyone else was wondering that same thing. :)DoBatsEatCatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761561474234856527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567389246201614694.post-21181636561915636052011-01-26T17:50:37.336-08:002011-01-26T17:50:37.336-08:00Yay!! 600 fans is awesome!!

When I first started mak...Perfect comment Feisty:)<br /><br />When I first started making crochet jewelry this actually was a relevant problem. I was using low quality wire and at too fine of a gauge. Luckily my customers let me know of the problem and I quickly resolved it by using a slightly thicker wire and a MUCH higher quality wire. I also reinforce the connection so that it will be extra strong. Now my connections are super strong.<br /><br />In comparison on most jewelry the connection to the clasp is using either a jump ring or whatever stringing material looped and crimped. So if you think about it crochet wire connections are much more sturdy.<br /><br />I also offer a lifetime warranty on all of my pieces. This way if I in someway didn't make the connection strong enough I will fix it in the event of a breakage.<br /><br />Thanks so much feisty for your comment! This will definitely be on my list of concerns to address in my listings!MegsCrochetJewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652257778384918875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567389246201614694.post-29215443566718703852011-01-21T11:08:33.732-08:002011-01-21T11:08:33.732-08:00I think my reservation with crochet jewelry (espec...I think my reservation with crochet jewelry (especially when I try to make it) is always the closures. I never feel like the wire is stable enough to handle the closure and worry that after I wear it a few times, it may be too fragile and break!<br /><br />Congrats on 600 fans!The Feisty Redheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474809442412059502noreply@blogger.com
