Create wire structures and jewelry with this 1 mm gold-plated Artistic Wire, which is ideal when your design requires more structural support.
With a diameter of 1 mm, this Artistic Wire copper wire has a much more pronounced presence than the fine wire used for small coils. It’s ideal for designs where the wire directly contributes to the jewelry’s shape: pendant structures, graphic elements, delicate bracelets, or bases intended to be decorated with a thinner wire. Its 15.8-meter spool provides enough material to complete several projects.
What can you do with this wire?
For example, you can form a structure and then adorn it with beads or small wire wraps. Delicate bracelets made of wire and olive-shaped beads provide a good example of how a relatively prominent wire can become the very framework of a piece. To work neatly and avoid choosing an unsuitable diameter, also consult our guide on the torsional strength of metal wires.
This diameter can also be used in certain wire-wrapping projects when a solid structure is needed, and then combined with 0.41 or 0.51 mm wire for fine wraps. Combining these different gauges allows you to better separate their functions: the thick wire defines the shape, while the thin wire secures and decorates.
Whether you’re a beginner or already familiar with metalworking, our tutorials and technical guides will provide you with tips and advice on choosing your tools, mastering shaping techniques, and developing your own designs.
