Making the Most of Your Xuron® Tools
Welcome to our new “Around the World” Maker Series, where we feature jewelers, model hobbyists, and makers of all types from around the globe. What do they all have in common? They all use Xuron® tools!
Our first featured Maker is Aran Testa, aka Jungle Silversmith. She is a jungle-living metalsmith inspired by nature who lives in Brunei, Borneo. We asked her a few questions in a short interview that we’ll share with you below.
Hello, jewelry aficionados! Today, we’re delving into an exciting niche in the world of adornments – permanent jewelry, or as it’s also known, welded, flash, fused, or infinity jewelry. This jewelry is custom-fitted to the customer’s wrist, ankle, neck, or finger. They choose the chain, a connector, and any charms they’d like from your collection, and then the ends are permanently welded, creating a seamless chain.
Permanent jewelry offers a whole new level of permanence and commitment. It’s not just another accessory you put on and take off at will. Once it’s on, it’s meant to stay on, becoming a part of your style for as long as you like.
Creating permanent jewelry requires precision, skill, and, of course, the right set of tools. That’s where Xuron® comes in. With our range of high-quality, durable, and user-friendly tools, crafting welded jewelry is an enjoyable creative process.
In an industry where precision, reliability, and efficiency are paramount, having the right tools can make a significant difference. Xuron® Micro-Shear® flush cutters are a powerhouse that marries convenience and functionality to deliver unparalleled performance. These ergonomic hand tools are offered in over 100 models designed for special tasks ranging from cutting hard and soft wire to electronic leads, slippery aramid fibers, slitting PVC jacketing, and many other factory and field-proven applications.
The Xuron® model 2175 is a versatile, durable, and ergonomic flush cutter that is used by manufacturers in a variety of industries. This cutter is USA-made and provides an excellent value for the price. It is available in three different models: the standard 2175, the 2175F with a lead retainer that keeps cut pieces of wire from flying, and the 2175AS with ESD safe grips for protection against static discharge.
Wire wrapping is a fun, creative process that allows you to create your own unique piece of jewelry. It requires patience, skill, and precision – but it has never been easier with Xuron® tools! In this blog post we will discuss the different Xuron® tools for wire wrapping and give some tips on which ones work best and how to use them to easily produce beautiful pieces! And finally, we’ll mention a couple of non-Xuron products that are also worth checking out.
