Wire

Wire is one of the most versatile and vital elements of jewelry making. Wire comes in various metals and gauges, with larger numbers being thinner. 22 gauge is usually strong enough for a lightweight wire to start with. Note: beading wire is different then metal wire--use beading wire for stringing beads, and use wire for making wire jewelry. Memory wire is pre-shaped to maintain it's circular shape. When choosing metal wire colors, be mindful of the metal color of your jump rings, headpins, earwires and clasps. For working with wire you will want to pick up some jewelry pliers and wire cutters.
