Would this be good for making findings? What gauge would you recommend. I know that niobium doesn't rust or the color chip off, what about Color Craft? Or would it be better to use Sterling and Gold Filled wire? Thanks!

Hi PrairieGal,

I'm really glad you asked this question.  ColorCraft wire is actually a very pretty color coated SOFT copper wire.  It's so soft we recommend using nylon jaw pliers to keep the denting to a minimum, and the color can get scratched off if you're not careful.  It isn't suitable for findings unfortunately, but its a great wire for wire wrapping and wire sculpting.
