Artistic Wire 18 Gauge Stainless Steel Craft Jewelry Wrapping Wire, 4 yd

I have plans for this and I have yet to make something. It's thick and not bent up. Ordered this first week of February 2024 and review is from having it for 2 days. This could help someone decide to buy it since I saw several negative reviews.

I’m not an artistic person by nature, I’m more of a garage hobbyist so stainless wire of varying diameters comes in handy. This wire is of good quality and I can twist this wire without it failing prematurely like other wire I have used. Good product, you won’t be disappointed.

I used it to make the loops to hook the key chain ting on. Works and looks good.

Still getting used to this wire and working with stainless steel, after years and thousands of wire wraps with half-hard sterling, copper, coated copper, nickel and more. This wire at 20 G is best for plain loops. I wouldn't want to wrap it tightly, and don't think I could. It reminds me of wire working with brass as far as the hardness goes. The color is the typical stainless steel- don't expect shiny silver! It's just a different look, but not that bad. A decent trade off for the durability and savings.

Stainless steel is stiff and sturdy, don't forget that. It's harder to work with then your average craft wire. I like it to make jewelry components like clasps, jump rings,connectors,etc. Itbtakes a lot of work to make a wire WRAPPED loop, but it can be done. it's also good as base wires with wire weaving. I would wrap a stone with it though. It wouldn't hold it right, because it's so hard to work with. This wire has a great shine to it. I like stainless steel wire, because I can file it down, buff it, shine it (with a 7step finger nail shiner) without worrying about copper peaking through. It's a solid wire, so you don't have a copper base like other craft wire has. It's hypoallergenic too. Sure it has a more gray look to it, and it's not as bright as plated wire, but like I said....get yourself a 7step nail buffer/shiner and it will be bright and super shiney. This wire is ready to work with as is though, but if you want more shine then buff and shine it.

For crafts

I used this wire to hold my drain pipe together, using stainless wire, that will not rust

Just what I was looking for to do my earrings.

Good Product

My favorite wire to make jewelry

Good wire, good price, as advertised. I use it for the bendable part of a face mask, and it survives gentle, cold washing machine cycles.

Lo uso para hacer resortes para mis anzuelos de trucha. Ayuda a detener la masilla blanda que se usa de carnada.

Not quite as stiff as I would have liked, But it is for artizan use. i would like harder wire.THIS IS NOT THE sellers issue.
