Create your wire-wrapped jewelry with this 0.51 mm gold-plated silver copper wire, which is perfect for combining delicacy and durability.
Slightly thicker than the 0.41 mm wire, this 0.51 mm diameter offers a more prominent look while remaining suitable for a wide range of wire-wrapping projects. Its 62.4-meter spool is ideal for creating multiple designs, producing batches, or working on assemblies that require many wraps of wire. The anti-tarnish gold plating helps maintain a consistent look when paired with gold-plated chains, charms, or findings.
What can you do with this copper wire?
Use it to wrap around beads, create decorative connections, or build a pattern around a central element. In particular, it can be used to adapt the style of this bamboo and heart pendant—featuring a wire-wrapped setting —to your own components. This gauge can also be used to work around gemstones or cabochons, as seen in the wire-wrapped setting of this pendant.
Its size allows you to create wraps that are prominent enough to contribute to the jewelry’s design. For example, try layering several rows of wire or combining it with a thinner wire to vary the textures. Another option is to gradually incorporate small beads between the wraps.
