This round artistic copper wire is ideal for creating unique jewelry: rings, pendants, bracelets or wire-wrapped earrings. Flexible and easy to work with, it bends and twists without breaking to bring all your DIY creations to life.
This wire retains the warm, slightly shiny appearance of raw copper, with its characteristic golden-orange highlights. It has a perfectly round cross-section and good rigidity, yet remains malleable by hand or with basic tools. Its 1.6 mm diameter makes it a fairly thick wire, suitable for structures requiring a bit of holding power, such as rings or mounts. It is sold in 3.1-meter spools.
How to use copper wire
This wire lends itself to many wire-wrapping and modeling techniques. It can be used to make copper wire rings formed directly on a mandrel, pendants with cabochon settings as in this wire wrapping pendant setting tutorial, or even beaded or charmed bracelets. Its thickness can also be used to create structuring elements in a composition, such as frames or supports for winding thinner wire.

You'll find practical advice on tool selection, twisting techniques, how to work with wire without marking it, and how to finish a piece cleanly.
