Create a custom ring or bangle with this 1.6 mm Artistic Wire gold-plated silver-coated copper wire.
This 3.1-meter spool is a convenient size for making a few rigid jewelry pieces, with wire thick enough to be used directly as the structure. With a diameter of 1.6 mm, this Artistic Wire is not suitable for wire wrapping: it works much better for shaping a bangle, a ring, or a simple graphic element.
How do you use this copper wire?
Creating rings is one of its most interesting uses. Wrap and shape the wire around a suitable mandrel to achieve a uniform size, or use our Artistic Wire adjustable ring template to explore different shapes. You can create a minimalist open-ended ring, embellish the ends, or add a small decorative element. For a bracelet, this diameter also allows you to create a thin yet eye-catching bangle. Add a few beads or crystals, taking inspiration from wire-and-bead bangle bracelets, or keep the design very simple to highlight the gold finish.
If you’d like to incorporate small decorative coils into your design, use 0.41, 0.51, or 0.64 mm wire wrapped around this 1.6 mm base.
Both beginners and experienced designers can consult our tutorials and technical guides to discover the right tools, shaping techniques, and numerous tips for working with metal wire with precision.
