How to Make Fretwire Jewelry

Fretwire jewelry is popular among musicians such as guitar players.

Fretwire jewelry is made from the metal frets used on the necks of guitars. The metal alloy is a combination of nickle and silver, making it an ideal metal for jewelry making. This jewelry is popular with musicians, especially those who play the guitar.

Things You'll Need

• Fretwire
• Wire cutters
• Pliers
• Silver beads
• Epoxy glue

Instructions

1. Wrap the wire around your wrist so it just meets.

2. Cut the wire at that point, as these bracelets are meant to be a perfect fit.

3. Fold the ends of the wire back 1/8 inch and press it into place with the pliers.

4. Mold the bracelet to fit your wrist. You may have to apply a high amount of pressure to the metal to get it to bend.
