This strong, durable 1.02 mm wire is ideal for wire-wrapping structures, solid armatures or decorative elements that hold their shape perfectly in your jewelry creations.
Its round cross-section and smooth surface give it a well-groomed appearance, with a shine characteristic of 304 stainless steel. This grade of steel offers good corrosion resistance and excellent durability, without tarnishing or oxidation. With its high hardness, it requires suitable tools for forming, such as round-nose pliers or forming jigs. Its 1.02 mm diameter gives it sufficient rigidity to hold the shapes created.
What can you do with this stainless steel wire?
This wire lends itself well to the creation of structured wire-wrapped jewelry: geometric pendants, underwired rings, bangle bracelets or even rigid earrings. It can also be used to make handcrafted clasps, earring hooks or connecting elements between different parts of a piece of jewelry. For lovers of more voluminous creations, it can be used as a base for brooches or decorative pins.
