Wire work destroys fingers. Pulling, wrapping, twisting — the friction accumulates until you're working through pain or stopping to rest hands that can't afford downtime. Gloves kill the precision that jewelry making demands. But unprotected fingers can't sustain production schedules.
Self-adhering tape provides targeted protection for the specific friction zones each maker develops. No bulk, no residue, no lost dexterity.
Why Jewelers Tape
Every jeweler has their damage pattern. Wire workers get cuts and friction burns on the pulling hand. Beaders develop calluses where thread runs. Metalsmiths take heat and abrasion on fingers that hold pieces during soldering. Tape protects the specific spots that each technique attacks.
Jewelry work requires fingertip sensitivity. Tape only the damaged or high-friction areas — leave fingertips and critical contact points bare for maximum feel.
Wire Work Protection
Wire pulling creates friction burns along the inside of the index finger and thumb. Wrap these areas before starting — thin layers maintain grip on wire while preventing skin damage. The tape stays put through hours of repetitive pulling.
