Making your own jewelry is fun and rewarding. With jewelry wire, jewelry beads, jewelry findings and your creative imagination, you can make jewelry in every style to complement each outfit in your closet or give jewelry projects as gifts.
To the beginners of jewelry making, they may not clear about the types of jewelry wire. There are dead soft, half-hard and full-hard. According to the sizes, they are also divided as thick jewelry wire, medium jewelry wire and thin jewelry wire. You need to choose different type according to your design. Following is some information about different type of jewelry wire.
Brass Wire, Silver
Heavy-duty jewelry wire (thick wire) is excellent for large shapes, bracelet bases, big clasps and hefty rings. 14-gauge or 16-gauge is typical wires for this type. They are great for supporting heavy jewelry pieces. Thicker wire is also available and is the perfect choice for artistic or outlandish projects.
Medium-gauge jewelry wire is very versatile and can be used for many projects. They are strong enough for average-sized jump rings, clasps and pins. This wire is easy to use and can be found in many colors and materials. Use medium-gauge wire for dramatic sculpted pendants and chandelier earrings that make a statement. Seasoned jewelry makers also use them to wrap bracelets.
Memory Wire, Steel, Golden
Thin jewelry wire is delicate and perfect for decorative pieces. When creating beaded wire pieces, use 4-gague wire, which is likely to fit most beads used in wire wrapping. A thin wire is perfect for making small detailed pieces like chain loops and small wire-wrapped beads. Fine wire is required for very delicate jewelry projects. Many jewelry makers like to use this type wire to make woven rings, twisted bracelets and gorgeous delicate pendants.
Tiger Tail, Mixed Color
Jewelry wire is available all over the world. You can get them easily. While if you would like to get a wide range of selection and low prices, I would like to suggest you to purchase them from wholesale stores, especially the online wholesale stores. As we all know that there are tens of thousands of jewelry wholesale online stores around the world. You can easily find one. But please keep in mind that you must find a reliable wholesaler if you don’t want to meet many problems after you purchased the items. PandaHall.com will be a good choice as it has became a leadingChinabeads, findings and gems online market for many years. Having its own manufacturer allows it offer lower prices.
