Copper Craft Wire FAQs

What is Copper Craft Wire used for?

Copper Craft Wire is perfect for wire wrapping, coiling, spiral work, and detailed jewellery making. It is also used for structural wire frames, mixed-media art, and home decor projects.

Is Copper Craft Wire good for jewellery making?

Yes! Copper wire is one of the most popular materials for jewellery making thanks to its excellent malleability and rich, warm tone. It is favoured by professional jewellers and hobbyists alike.

Is Copper Craft Wire easy to work with?

Absolutely. Copper is highly malleable and easy to bend, shape, and coil. It is an ideal wire for both beginners and advanced wire artists.

Does Copper Craft Wire tarnish?

Raw copper wire will naturally oxidise over time, developing a beautiful patina. Many designers embrace this look, while others choose to seal or polish their wire to maintain a bright finish.

How do I prevent Copper Craft Wire from tarnishing?

To preserve a bright copper finish, use anti-tarnish coatings or seal your finished pieces with a clear protective spray. Alternatively, store copper jewellery in an airtight bag with anti-tarnish strips.

What tools should I use with Copper Craft Wire?

Use round-nose pliers, chain-nose pliers, and wire cutters designed for jewellery wire. Nylon-jaw pliers are great for straightening and protecting the wire’s finish during shaping.

Yes. Copper Craft Wire pairs beautifully with gemstones and beads of all types. Its warm tone enhances many designs and is ideal for wire wrapping stones and stringing beads.
