10 Gauge Jewelry Wire is heavy, and can be hard to bend. This is a good size for making bangle bracelets and other wire bracelets. It's stiff enough that you'll want good-quality jewelry tools when working with it. However, you may still need to work-harden the wire to make sure bracelets and rings don't bend out of shape. Sometimes the process of forming your jewelry into the proper shape, work-hardens it enough. For other designs you may need to hammer-texture them or use a wire whacker on your finished design.

0 Reviews /
Avg Rating: 0 /10
10-gauge round raw (bare) copper wire, 4oz. spools (approx. 8 feet). 100% copper. Solid copper wire has a lovely warm hue. Although this round copper wire is graded dead soft, 10 gauge wire is thicker than most wire used in jewelry, so requires more hand strength and/or stronger tools than are required for thinner gauges. Leave the copper bright and shiny, or oxidize it to create an antiqued look.
