Fashion jewelry has been around for thousands of years now. In the early primitive days, some of our ancestors have even taken to jewelry more easily than they have with clothes. Glamorous looking or not, primitive men have made use of stones, twines, animal teeth and other materials which were found in their surroundings. And, although primitive men may have never heard of the concept of jewelry, those stone necklaces probably may have been considered trendy even in those times, worn only by some privileged few who happen upon their last meal's molars, bicuspids or some other part of dental treasure!
Because of the certain sense of personal satisfaction felt by people wearing jewelry that matched their personality, fashion jewelry has survived up to this age. And although gone were the days when people walked around flaunting the above-mentioned style of fashion jewelries, modern tools and easy jewelry-making tips have made sure that the modern man - or more aptly, women, enjoyed the same satisfaction of wearing jewelries in crystals, gold, diamonds, beads and other precious stones.
One of the most popular and easy to make jewelry now is the wire-wrap jewelry. The tools in making wire-wrap fashion jewelry is relatively cheap and available almost in every hardware or tool shops. These basic wire-wrap jewelry making tools include, wire cutters, pliers, ring mandrel, a scale, swiss pattern file and pin vise.
Wire-wrap jewelry, as one may surmise from its name alone, involves the twisting and binding of wires together into a chosen design with the use of tools. Wires may come in copper, brass, silver, gold or white gold and other malleable material. These wires or materials may also come in different shapes and sizes: round, flat, thick, etc.
Wire-wrap jewelries are easy to make. For amateur fashion jewelry makers or for those who are only starting with fashion jewelry as a hobby, select first a fashion jewelry design. Make sure that you understand fully how to go about starting with the design as designs may come in different levels of complexities. It is advisable for beginners to start with easy designs. Next, with the use of tools, begin your step-by-step twisting, bending and binding of the wires. Since wires are malleable, a beginner can easily alter and correct it should she make mistakes. Some designs may include stones, semi-precious or precious stones, and some designs may not.
Once the work has met with your satisfaction, attach a sturdy fashion jewelry latch. Fashion jewelry latches may be bought in jewelry shops and in hobby stores in the jewelry, beads or handicraft section. Some may want to add finishing touches to their wire-wrap jewelry by tinting it if the material used allows for it. Some jewelry makers also leave their masterpieces as is especially when they are in gold, or silver. It is up to the fashion jewelry designer's good eye to decide how it may look better.
Wire-wrap fashion jewelry may be easy to make. But the satisfaction and sense of achievement felt by its designer-maker is definitely immense, knowing that he has carried on a tradition of art, beauty and fashion started thousands of years ago. Only this time, he or she accomplishes it with better tools, more raw materials to choose from, high level of design, and definitely a higher selling price!

London's Royal Festival Hall: a Study on Architectural Ironmongery
Largely immune from architectural fads and whims, the Royal Festival Hall on London’s south bank is still arguably one of the capital’s most talked about contemporary edifices. There is no middle way; any trained eye will either fall for or faint over its uncompromising stone facade. In fact, the Hall is enjoying multi-million facelift; some £116 million has helped the 1950s treasure to retain its original luster.
The building was substantially altered in 1964 by adding the foyers and terraces to the river side of the building and more dressing rooms to the rear. Alterations to the facades facing the river removed the playful Scandinavian Modernism of the building's primary public face in favour of a plainer and hard-edged style. The building again underwent a substantial renovation between 2005 and 2007 led by Allies and Morrison Architects aimed at improving the poor acoustics, production access and flexibility of the auditorium and the general quality of fabric, entrance spaces and cafe and the layouts of the foyers.
Granted, the architecture on the outside did not encounter a smooth reception in its early days, but it can be said that its chief planners were vindicated by the 21st century taste for industrial finishes. This forward-thinking finish has been complemented with the opening up for lease of the space around the Hall, which are now the enclaves of stylish cafés and bars.
But the edge (so to speak) of the Hall has always been, hands down, the inside. The mostly-wood components that completed the hall lend much of its character. As an aside, the hall is prove to be one of the Architectural Ironmongery world's quiet headaches, given the post-war lack of steel when the building was being completed.
Its a different story altogether when it came to the Hall’s doors, these metallic masterpieces that are perhaps the most noticed detail of the building's visitors. The masters behind the original door furniture were architects Peter Moro and Leslie Martin. Every door handle got its own finish and design according to their pre-determined function and position in the building.
But the recent feat of recreating, refurbishing and replacing this sophisticated range of entrances and exits is either the architectural ironmongery world's best nightmare or dream, depending on your point of view. Harbrine, which won the bid to orchestrate the project, had to literally pass through 450 doors, each with its own story of condition and repair to tell. Harbrine director Harry Singh elaborated that “the original plan was to reuse the hardware that was in situ, maybe after a polish. But when we began to look closer we saw that the true picture was much more complex with closers broken, hinges worn, and lock latches damaged beyond repair. Basically, almost every single mechanical part needed replacing.”
Most of the parts of the doors were either nickel silver, solid bronze, or bronze plated on brass. In any case, these were all disassembled to be relieved of half a century's worth of dust and dirt. The wooden parts, meanwhile, were sanded and revarnished. In cases where this was unrealistic, the handles had to be completely recast.
Another idea of the work that went into renovating this work of art was how both vintage and modern issues were incorporated into the actual project. Both the Disability Discrimination Act and Building Control and English Heritage were harmonized in order that this Grade I listed building did not lose its unique elegance while meeting contemporary specifications.
In conclusion, The Royal Festival Hall is an example that will be studies for years to come as to how a brilliant result can be gained via a close collaboration between architect and architectural ironmongery.
