Create bracelets, rings, and other rigid jewelry with this 1.6 mm gold-plated silver Artistic Wire.
With a diameter of 1.6 mm, this copper wire falls into the category of thick wires intended primarily for creating structured jewelry. It may be a bit too thick for wire wrapping and is much better suited for creating a bangle, a ring, or a rigid shape. Its 7.6-meter spool allows you to experiment freely and create multiple pieces in the same style.
What can you make with this copper wire?
To make a bracelet, measure the required length, then gradually shape the wire on an oval bracelet mandrel. You can keep the bangle completely minimalist or add a small stone, a charm, or a few beads to the ends. The design of this heart-shaped bracelet made from metal wire also demonstrates how the wire itself can be shaped to become the jewelry’s pattern. For small details or ties, pair this wire with a thinner gauge rather than trying to increase the number of wraps with the 1.6 mm wire.
Our tutorials and technical guides are available to assist both beginners and experienced designers with tips on shaping, tools, and different ways to work with metal wire.
