Create sturdy structures with this 1.02 mm square 316L stainless steel wire, ideal for wire frames, rings, and rigid jewelry components.
Thick and structuring, this 1.02 mm square wire is designed for projects that require good structural integrity. Its square cross-section creates clean lines and a graphic look, whilethe 316L stainless steel gives it greater rigidity than copper or brass wire of a comparable diameter. The spool contains 13 meters, a length suitable for projects using relatively large lengths of wire.
What can you do with 1.02 mm square wire?
At 1.02 mm, this wire is better suited for structural applications than for small coils. It is ideal for creating pendant bases, ring components, rigid shapes, or certain parts of a bracelet. However, it is less suitable for fine wire wrapping, which generally requires diameters that are more flexible and easier to wrap around a framework.
Shape a ring base, a geometric form, or a framework that you can then customize with a thinner wire. This tutorial on rings with natural stones and metal wire can give you ideas for creating your own design, while adapting the technique to the greater rigidity of stainless steel.You can also create a bracelet shape or a curved element using a round bracelet-forging mandrel. This tool helps you achieve more consistent curves and diameters.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced designer, our tutorials and technical guides provide advice and tips for working with thick wire, mastering curves, and combining different diameters.
