Valentine’s Day Chocolates

You’ve probably noticed the gourmet chocolate truffles we’ve been including in many of our orders the past few months. These are exclusively made for Wire-Sculpture.com by a local chocolate company here in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Due to hundreds of requests from our customers about where to buy these delicious chocolates, we’ve negotiated special pricing for all our customers and for a limited time are offering these Valentine’s chocolate assortments that you can add to any of your jewelry supply orders!

All of these chocolates are home made from scratch (I’ve actually seen them being made!) and are made with only fresh cream and butter. Every home-fashioned chocolate is individually inspected to ensure the highest quality of chocolate is delivered straight to you.

If you’re not a chocolate lover – these also make great gifts for Valentine’s Day! Just type in a different shipping address during checkout and these can be sent to anybody, anywhere. We’ll even include a hand-written gift message for your special someone!

Choose from a variety of different assortments including: Traditional, Most Famous or Mindy Mint Truffles!

Add any of these Valentine’s Chocolates to your cart and receive 20% off the retail price! Gold Club members receive 25% off!

Daily Wire Jewelry Making Tip
February 1, 2010

Question:

Can I wire wrap a faceted gemstone without using a casting. If so, how? I have some big stones I would like to wrap.

Answer:

To make wire jewelry using large gemstones, I would suggest that you up your gauge to either 21 or 20, depending on both the size of the stone and the design you are using. For all wire designs, with no pre-cast additions, check out my book, Wirework, that has four different patterns using cut stones and watch for my upcoming Intermediate DVD series!
