Create structured jewelry designs with this 0.72 mm square 316L stainless steel wire, ideal for shapes, frames, and wire-wrapping projects.
This 0.72 mm square wire combines a distinctive cross-section with the strength characteristic of316L stainless steel. Its four sides give patterns a more structured look than round wire and allow you to play with the metal’s reflections. Its 27-meter spool is ideal for creating a wide variety of small structures, pendants, earring components, or wire art pieces.
What can you create with 0.72 mm square wire?
With this medium gauge, the wire begins to offer good structural support. It can serve as a framework or outline around which you can work with a finer wire. It can still be used for certain wire-wrapping projects, particularly those with fairly open patterns, but it’s less suitable than the 0.51 mm wire for creating numerous tiny, tight coils. Since stainless steel is naturally stiffer than copper or brass, this difference becomes particularly noticeable as the diameter increases.
Use it to form the outline of a pendant, create a pair of graphic earrings, or build the structure of a small geometric shape. You can then add stones or beads using a thinner wire. Our guide, “5 Things to Know Before You Start Wire Wrapping, ” will help you better understand how to combine different wire diameters.
This wire can also be useful for creating ring components. Draw inspiration from this tutorial on rings with natural stones and twisted wire to explore the possibilities of metal wire, always adapting your techniques to the stiffness of 316L.
