Moving Premises......at long long last

Clair Wolfe Jewellery will be moving in the next week and will be off line and only contactable by mobile. All emails, sales and anything else internet related will be responded too once the move is complete.

Packing up the work room has been a massive chore in itself! Looking forward to setting up the new one though, and I do promise to keep it as tidy and as organised as my creative brain allows.

All magazine articles have been submitted, all customers have their orders on the way to them.

.....now back to my very long list of things to do between now and then!!!!
Wish me luck!

Making Jewellery Magazine Issue 13

9 Step Earring Turtorial.



Issue 13 is finally here, I find having to wait a month between issues to be about 2 weeks too long!!!

I have three articles in this edition, a step by step tutorial, a section in the Tool supplement, on behalf of Cooksons Gold, and my first Tool of the Month page. (I also have a little spot on the 49 tips page).

The earrings in this months edition were created on behalf of Palmer Metals. They are understated glamour, and rather different to my usual style of work.


The new page that I have taken over for the next few issues, The Tool of the Month, is turning out to be a very enjoyable page to write. I am getting to review a multitude of jewellery making tools. Keep a look out for future issues, featuring pliers, hammers, and various wire tools.


I also have been asked to be involved in several exciting project in the coming months....will keep you posted!.
