This round artistic copper wire is ideal for creating unique jewelry: rings, pendants, bracelets or wire-wrapped earrings. Flexible and easy to work with, it bends and twists without breaking to bring all your DIY creations to life.
This wire retains the warm, slightly lustrous appearance of copper, with its characteristic golden-orange highlights. It has a perfectly round cross-section and good rigidity, while remaining malleable by hand or with basic tools. Its 1.6 mm diameter makes it a fairly thick wire, suitable for structures that require some structural integrity, such as rings or settings. It is sold in 3.1-meter spools.
It is coated with a copper plating and a tarnish-resistant finish.
How do you use this copper wire?
This wire is suitable for many wire-wrapping and modeling techniques. It can be used to make copper wire rings formed directly on a mandrel, pendants with cabochon settings as shown in this wire-wrapped pendant tutorial, or even bangle bracelets decorated with beads or charms. Its thickness also allows you to create structural elements in a piece, such as frames or supports for wrapping a thinner wire around.
Whether you’re new to working with metal wire or already have some experience, technical guides and tutorials are available to walk you through the process step by step. You’ll find practical advice on choosing tools, twisting techniques, how to work with the wire without leaving marks, and how to neatly finish a piece. It’s a great starting point to progress at your own pace.
