There's something truly special about creating handmade jewelry, especially when working with a variety of techniques such as wire wrapping, knotting, macrame, and braiding.  Experimenting with different styles and patterns allows for endless creativity, blending textures and colors to create something both visually striking and personally meaningful.  Whether crafting a tree of life pendant, macrame bracelet, beaded mala necklace or using techniques to shape figures from metal and bonded material, the joy comes not just from the finished piece, but from the journey of making it by hand.

Kumihimo, which means 'the bringing together or gathering of threads', is a beautiful and ancient Japanese art of braiding that creates stunning patterns and textures.  At Gridley Arts, we bring this tradition to life in our handmade necklaces and bracelets, using various materials such as satin cord, waxed jewelry cord or embroidery thread, combined with genuine gemstone beads, magnetic hematite beads, or delicate glass seed beads.  Depending on the design, we carefully braid each piece individually with 8, 12 or 16 cords, ensuring a strong yet elegant finish--a special blend of artistry, tradition, and quality craftsmanship.
