Artistic Wire 10 Gauge, Bare Copper Craft Jewelry Wrapping Wire, 25 ft

This is perfect quality for sure wrapping crystals. It also looks good and it's sturdy.

I have a lot of sets of round copper wire with multiple gauges, but for some reason, none of my sets came with any 20 gauge wire, which is actually a thickness I would really like to use quite often. So I bought this.Please note this is actually bare copper wire. There is a little confusion with the item description because it seems recycled from other Artistic Wire products (you may have seen other Artistic Wire spools with green or purple or orange coatings, for example). What I received was BARE copper wire with no non-tarnish coating (this is what I wanted). I have played around with patinas and they have taken, which to me is confirmation of no enamel coating and no non-tarnish coating. If you want this not to tarnish, keep it in a small, closed container with one of those 3M anti-tarnish tabs (the same goes for any jewelry items made from it). Or seal it with some kind of sealant or spray, though sealants usually need to be periodically reapplied.This seems to be dead soft. I can manipulate it with my hands though I prefer using nylon-jaw pliers. (Depending on what I want to do, sometimes I just use non-coated pliers. For example, if I want to use bail-making or roundnose pliers, I'll just use the bare steel ones. I have not yet had to anneal it to re-soften it but that is always a possibility if you work it too much. This cuts easily with my small Eurotool flush cutters.I'm not saying my wire wrapping looks very good yet, but that is on me. I just need more practice. I am pretty good at making eyepins (really, something everyone should learn to make, as it's just silly to pay for finished ones that might not even be the length you want) with this so far, and I've made some paddle-type headpins by pounding the end of a cut piece with a hammer.Anyway, this was a good purchase for practice with wire wrapping and for making headpins and eyepins. I'll likely go back to the same product when I run out.

Worked great for wire wrapping pendants, great craft product.

This wire was purchased for a project to make beaded Valentine hearts with an organization. It worked well, as expected, and looks fine. The texture is so fine that the wire does kink really bad if not kept straight, but it is no fault of Amazon.

I use this wire when my jewelry projects call for a thick gauge wire that usually needs to be flattened with a hammer. It stands up beautifully to being beaten flat! This is great wire. I would have given it 5 stars except that I've notice sometimes it does show some tarnish. If you are going to antique it with Liver of Sulphur, I don't think this would be a problem, and it doesn't happen with most of the packages of this wire that I get. I do recommend this wire.

I use it to wrap loose ends of number 4 AWG wire to keep the strands together so I can solder it. Works great for this purpose.

Ordered this for an art project (my first sculpture!) and i dont work with wire very much so i dont have a lot to compare it to. That being said, its an absolutely beautiful color, and its super maleable and easy to work with. I was able to braid/twist the entire 20 yards into mini barb wire with the help of some pliers and wire cutters. Its not very sharp when you cut it, so i didnt have to wear gloves, but my thumb and pointer finger are a tiny bit scratched up. The amount of wire didnt go as far as i thought it would, but its a great price so i reordered more to finish my project. 10/10 would recommend

Bought for stone wrapping and very happy with ease of use.

The quality is good. If you're doing some soldering, you can use it for all kind of purposes.

This wire is perfect, I really hope it comes back in stock soon. I use it to make jewelry
