Shape strong, sturdy wire structures with this 304 stainless steel round wire, perfect for creating coils, connectors and rigid elements in your DIY jewelry creations.
Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, this wire has a pronounced rigidity that enables it to retain the shapes obtained without deforming over time. With a diameter of 0.64 mm, it offers good mechanical strength while remaining sufficiently fine for meticulous work. Resistant to oxidation and humidity, it is well suited to jewelry worn on a daily basis. Note that its hardness makes it unsuitable for techniques involving repeated twisting, such as intensive wire wrapping.

It can also be used to create simple frames for necklaces or rigid bracelets. When it comes to wire shaping techniques, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the basics of wireworking before you start.

You'll find advice on choosing the right tools for working with rigid wire, techniques for obtaining even curves, securing the ends and assembling the various elements of your creations in a neat, durable way.
