Create rings, bangles, and metal shapes with this 1.25 mm raw brass wire, which offers a good balance between workability and strength.
Please note that this wire has not been treated to prevent tarnishing.
This 1.25 mm diameter is an excellent middle ground for creating structured jewelry without using a wire that’s too thick. It can be bent, shaped, and worked to create bracelet bases, rings, or various geometric elements. Stiffer than a fine wire intended for wire wrapping, it is particularly useful when the metal needs to remain visible and play a direct role in the design of the piece. The 3-meter spool provides enough material to experiment with several shapes or create a small batch of jewelry.
How to use this brass wire?
For a bracelet, shape a simple structure and then add a few beads or crystals to create accent details. The construction of these brass wire and bead bangle bracelets provides a good foundation for understanding how to combine rigid metal wire with decorative elements. You can also create an adjustable ring by shaping the wire around an Artistic Wire ring mandrel, then adding a small loop, an abstract shape, or a bead set in the center.
This wire diameter is also ideal for making handmade rings, simple clasps, graphic pendants, or connecting elements. For more detailed finishes, you can enhance your project with a thinner wire that wraps around this main structure.
Both beginners and experienced designers can find advice, tips, and explanations in our tutorials and technical guides on how to choose the right tools, shape the metal, and adapt the wire gauge to each creation.
