Bronze Round Wire, Dead-Soft

This dead-soft, 4-gauge bronze round wire is an ideal starting point for creating custom designs; use it as practice wire before wire-wrapping with precious metal wire. Round wire is the bread-&-butter of jewelry making and is useful for a wide variety of techniques. Dead soft wire is easy to bend, shape and hammer; it is an ideal starting point for forming, shaping and wire-wrapping. Keep in mind that hardness is changeable (by annealing or heat-hardening) and is relative among metal types (each temper will feel and handle differently from one metal to another). When finishing your pieces, also keep in mind that the harder the metal is, the brighter a finish it will take.

4-gauge wire is useful for substantial or heavy jewelry designs, accessories and hollowware or for any designs that demand high durability; the heaviest gauges (4–0 ga.) are suitable for forging and heavy manipulation. As you know, jewelry wire has as many uses as there are jewelers and designers who use it to achieve their vision; these suggested uses simply represent some of the more common applications of this metal weight.

This wire is packaged in 1-lb. coils, approximately 8 ft.

Bronze fabrication material offers a slightly antiqued yellow-metal look ideal for mixed metal and alternative-metal designs. As a base metal, bronze also provides a very affordable price point.
