Slightly Twisted Studios specializes in unique wire jewelry handcrafted from gold-filled or sterling silver wire and semi-precious stones, using only pliers, no glue, solder or casting.

Wire jewelry is an ancient craft that has been documented back to Bronze Age in Europe and to ancient Egypt. I gain inspiration from many sources--it could be a delicate filigree pin from the Renaissance and other historical periods, or the bold modern lines of sweeping geometric shapes, or the graceful curves and movement of vines and growing things.

Since 1990, I have been creating a wide variety rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, earcuff, pins and more. I also craft beautiful, yet functional, tools for fiberarts such as spinning, weaving, knitting, crochet, tatting, and bobbin lace. Examples are spinning wheel, reed, and heddle hooks, wrist distaffs, stitch markers and holders for knitting and crochet, and lace bobbin holders.

Slightly Twisted jewelry can be found at Scarborough Renaissance Faire in Waxahachie, TX from mid-April through early June, at local art shows, and you are welcome to visit my studio (by appointment).

I specialize in custom designs and delight in working with someone to create that special piece. Have you ever seen a unique stone at a gemshow, rock shop or while traveling, but didn't have a way to wear it? Bring it by and we can collaborate on a design for YOUR stone. On any piece, I'm happy to use your stone or mine.
