As the year progresses we will be adding new venues so be sure and check back often to see if we will be coming to a location near you. There is no way that I can have everything that we have in our shop on the web site. Many of the items we design are one of a kind and very unique to custom wire jewelry.
I sincerely hope you will find the time in your busy schedule to attend one of the Trade Shows where we exhibit our personalized jewelry.
If you have loose gemstones you would like to have mounted be sure and bring them by so we can give you and estimate on you custom designed gemstone pendant or ring.
San Antonio Livestock Stock Show & Rodeo
March 23, 2010
Wire Works Custom Jewelry was once again in attendance at the 2010 San Antonio Livestock Show & Rodeo – 43 years as a major commercial vendor at one of the worlds largest Rodeos and Livestock Shows. As always providing fine custom designed wire jewelry, personalized jewelry and wire wrapping to all those who attend.
Jim Thompson started his career as a “Wire Bender” in 1963 at the New York Worlds Fair. That humble beginning continued at the 1967 Hemisphere in San Antonio, Texas where he worked as a “barker” for the Gay Ninety Saloon. Jim felt that the Stock Show & Rodeo might provide the customer base he was missing, a niche market that could be developed. After 40 plus years of working in this market place he has developed a following that is unique in the trade show business.
The concept of allowing your customers and their desires to drive the direction of your business (Mass Customization) was not recognized until the late ’80′s; however Mr. Thompson’s unique attitude of “I don’t know if I can , but I’ll sure try” has built a product line of Custom Wire Jewelry that has grown for one item (our scroll pin) to 100′s of individual and unique items, which include, Hat Pins, Lariat Necklaces,Bull Rider Rope Necklaces and Pins and the very Popular Lariat Cross Necklace as well as the “Mane Name Necklace”. There are many, many more items and most have been suggested or designed by our wonderful customers.
This year the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo was no exception. The only difference is that Wire Artist Craig Kime is doing most of the work since Jim is finally finding time to work on the old cars that he loves. Craig is following in the footprints left by Jim “The Wire Bender” and providing customers with the same personal service that has been the trademark of Wire Works Custom Jewelry and Gold Wire Jewelry since the early ’60′s. Customers still ask, ” Can you do this? and the reply is always “I don’t know but I will sure give it a try!”
The items you see in our store and at our web site represent only a few of the unique quality items that can be designed “Just For You”.
Don’t hesitate to ask, “Can you do this?” You just might be amazed at what we can create!



Jim & Janyce Thompson welcome you to Wire Works. The original company, Gold Wire Jewelry, was started in 1964, with a grand opening at the New York Worlds Fair. In 1983, the name was changed to Wire Works, but continued under the same ownership.
