Artistic Wire Copper Jewelry Wire, 26ga, 90ft - Black

Avg Rating: 10 /10
26-gauge black Artistic Wire, 90ft (30 yard) spools. This type of Artistic Wire is constructed with a copper core that's finished with a permanent black color coating. The exact color of this wire may vary. 26 gauge wire works great for Viking knit and for stringing pearls and small-hole beads.
trying to make black earrings the girl on the tutorial used 2 sizes of metal, can't find tutorial. Do you guys know what 2 types were used, 2ndly something else why would you used German medium, lastly, another video used flat on one side and regular (whatever she was using), she used a different wire for making loops, tell me please what size and type wire was she using? Thank you in advance, FairyMaiden -- [ R & T reply: Hi FairyMaiden, we've sent you an email asking what tutorial / pair of earrings / video(s) you're working from, because we are stumped on those parts of your question. However, we believe we can answer your 'German medium' question: German-Style wire is near the middle of the scale of wire hardness. It falls just to the left of Half-Hard, so it's a bit easier to shape, than half-hard sterling silver wire, and quite a bit softer than 316L Stainless wire, but it's harder than copper-core Artistic Wire, which is dead-soft. ]
