Artistic Wire, 18 Gauge Tarnish Resistant Colored Copper Craft Wire, Antique Brass Color, 4 yd

I used this 22-gauge wire for jewelry making, and it’s perfect for wrapping, linking, and adding detail to handmade pieces. The antique brass color is rich and consistent throughout the spool, giving every design a warm, vintage look. The wire is flexible enough to shape easily but still holds its form well once wrapped. It’s smooth to work with, no rough spots or flaking and the tarnish-resistant finish keeps it looking new even after handling. This gauge is great for creating earrings, small pendants, or decorative accents in more intricate pieces. Pro tip: pair it with matching findings or jump rings in antique brass to keep your jewelry designs cohesive.

Just as described. It's just the right guage and easy to work with. I used it to fix a link in my grandaughter's necklace. Good price and worked perfectly, I'm sure I'll find lot's of uses for it.

Excellent wire. Great price

Just got the wire there is copper underneath the top coat so beware of scratching the top layer off. But over all the shine is great looks very silvery. It’s pretty sturdy for how small the wire I got is. I made some pendants for my necklace and I’m happy the way the wire looks.

Perfect for the purse dangles I make.

Easy to work with

This is my go to wire for jewelry making!

I create jewelry for myself and as gifts. For gifts I always use sterling silver, but it's expensive to use it for more casual personal jewelry. I decided to give this a try because I'd heard that it was a good way to get the brightness of sterling silver without the high cost. It is definitely bright and shiney, and in my research I'd heard it has a slightly warm/yellow cast but I don't find that to be true. It feels completely different from non-coated wire - very slick. It's thicker at 22 gauge than a non-coated sterling silver, noticeably so in fact. I ordered a 26 gauge and may even order a 28 gauge as a comparable replacement to my 24 gauge sterling silver. The 22 gauge is what I would normally think of 20 gauge. This is a soft wire - fantastic for wrapped/rosary/closed loops, but I hesitate to use it for open loops or eye pins unless it was in a light necklace or earrings, something that doesn't get tugged too often. I'll give it a try and update later, I just started playing with it tonight. I'd heard from research as well that the copper is exposed when the wire is cut since this is a copper plated wire. I couldn't see it in the 22 gauge. Perhaps in an 18 or 16, something really thick. Otherwise it's pretty consistent with the silver color. The only word of warning is that this wire can be scratched. I tend to work slowly and carefully so it's not an issue - the few scratches are not noticeable on the piece over all - but I've seen recommendations to get nylon covers for your tools. I would just recommend experimenting with it to see for yourself before spending the money on the nylon covers. Definitely glad I purchased it and will be using it more frequently in the future.

I normally use pure copper or silver plated copper Artistic Wire to wire wrap stones. I thought I'd give this black Arrtistic Wire a try and was very disappointed with its performance. # 1 - it was not a copper based Wire. I do not know what it was made of but it and was not pliable. I could not get it to wrap around the stones nicely # 2 - The black chipped off the Wire very easily. I will not be buying this again and will be discarding the one I have.

Useful wire to have in stash

excellent product good quality well worth the price paid works well good for any craft person .

Very easy to work with and hides the wire nicely when working with green beads. This wire is great for making the sepal of the flower.
