Which Type of Precious Metal Wire is Right For Me?
With hundreds of wire options in varying levels of flexibility, it can be difficult to know what your project needs. Our jewelry wire is available extra hard, hard, medium (or half hard), and soft. Typically, half hard wire is sufficient for most jewelry making jobs. Additionally, craft wire can be strengthened using a hammer -- a technique known as 'work hardening' that can improve durability and stiffness.
Precious metals in general are non-toxic and biocompatible, making them valued in jewelry, in addition to their aesthetic appeal and high workability and malleability. However, the type of metal has a big impact on a wire's best suited applications and characteristics. Both gold and platinum are resistant to tarnishing and corrosion, maintaining their shine over time. Platinum retains stability at high temperatures, while gold has superior solderability and high ductility for ultra-thin drawing.
As for wire shapes, round wire is the most adaptable option for both hand-built work and mass production. Jewelers use it for curves, frames, stones, links, jump rings, bands, and prongs. It remains sturdy even when pulled, twisted, or filed, making it a staple wholesale wire for jewelry across workshops.
Half-round wire sits neatly against other jewelers' wire during wrapping or binding, making it the perfect shape for band interiors, reinforced joints, and multi-wire designs.
Square wire is preferred for pieces that require defined edges, such as geometric forms, channel settings, or custom components. We offer other profiles such as double domed, flat bezel, oval, and step bezel.
