FAQ

Is this wire suitable for wire wrapping?
Yes — the 0.7mm gauge is a versatile size for wire wrapping. It’s firm enough to hold shapes but soft enough to bend by hand without special tools.

Will the gold plating tarnish or wear off?
As with all plated wire, the finish may wear with heavy use or exposure to moisture, sweat, and chemicals. To extend the life of finished pieces, avoid contact with water and store in a dry place.

What gauge is 0.7mm wire?
0.7mm is approximately 21 gauge (AWG). It’s a medium-weight wire — sturdy enough for structural components like rings and frames, and fine enough for detailed wirework.

Can I use this wire with beads?
Yes — 0.7mm wire works with beads that have a hole diameter of 1mm or larger. For very fine seed beads, you may need a thinner gauge wire.

Is this wire tarnish-resistant?
The copper core may oxidize over time if the plating wears. We recommend sealing finished pieces with a jewelry sealant for longer-lasting results.
