Create rods, rings, and metal structures with a graphic look using this 2.1 mm black Artistic Wire copper wire.
With a diameter of 2.1 mm, this copper wire has a substantial presence and good structural integrity, making it particularly well-suited for creating pieces that need to retain their shape. Its black finish with an anti-tarnish treatment gives it a contemporary look and helps preserve its appearance over time. At this thickness, this wire is too thick for small wire-wrapping coils: it’s best suited for bangles, rings, large shapes, and rigid structures. Its 3.1-meter length allows you to create several pieces depending on their dimensions.
What can you do with this 2.1 mm copper wire?
Use it to shape the base of a bangle bracelet, create a chunky ring, or design a geometric shape to be turned into a pendant. To form a smooth bracelet, work directly around a round bracelet-making mandrel, which will help you achieve a consistent curve. You can also adapt the construction method used for this black resin bangle by adjusting the assembly to fit this black wire. Then play with contrast by adding light-colored beads, silver-tone components, or a few pops of color.
If you’re new to working with metal wire, start with simple shapes and use pliers that are sturdy enough for this wire diameter. More experienced designers can explore sculptural structures, open forms, or graphic jewelry. Our tutorials and technical guides provide tips and advice on choosing the right tools, shaping the metal gradually, and achieving clean finishes.
