Wire-Wrapping Wire and Tools

Jewelry Wrapping Wire

Wire wrapping is one of the world’s oldest jewelry-making techniques, and at Fire Mountain Gems and Beads, we carry all sorts of wrapping wire for designers and artists. This wire can be wrapped, twisted and woven around itself or beads, transforming it from ordinary wire spools to exquisite jewelry. Wrapping can even be used to make an attachment loop so no soldering is necessary.

Wire for Wrapping Jewelry

Our lineup includes many types of wire-wrapping jewelry wire. Use precious gold-filled wire, sterling silver, Argentium silver or rose gold wire for a unique, custom appearance. If you want a utilitarian look or are on a budget, we offer steel, copper and aluminum jewelry wire. Or go fully modern with colorful Niobium wire to achieve a fresher aesthetic.

These wires also come in many hardness levels and gauges. Most wrapping wire is available in dead-soft, half-hard and full-hard varieties. The harder the wire, the more difficult it is to bend — but the sturdier and more durable the final piece will be. Different wire shapes include round, flat, twisted round, oval, textured flat and triangle. We’ll help you find the best wire for making everything from spiral earrings to charm bracelets.

Fire Mountain Gems and Beads also has jewelry wire-working tools and supplies to create the treasures you imagine. Order wire-wrapping pliers, jigs, mandrels and other tools in bulk quantities — and check out wire-working books with information about techniques. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. We’ve been known for great selection and friendly service since 1973.
