Jewelry Wire and Its Use

One of the most significant accessories of any beading or strung project is a wire. Wires can be made from any metal — copper, brass, nickel and silver to gold depending upon the requirement of the jewelry in question. Wires can be used to make necklaces, bracelets, anklets and earrings. Using wires in a project is not as simple a task as it seems to be. Only a professional jewelry maker can use this delicate accessory to make alluring and mesmerizing designs. However, for an amateur a basic level of information on how to use a wire for making simple pieces of jewelry can be appropriate to start with.

Anyone can make simple yet elegant jewelry articles with just wires and some basic tools such as wire cutters, jump rings, pliers, jig, earwires, eyepins, beads, studs, pearls etc. The most important thing to consider before beginning a project is the material of wire and its thickness. These two things can be easily determined by knowing the weight and purpose of the ornament being made.

With the help of above tools and a little guidance from an experienced jewelry maker one can easily learn to use a jewelry wire impeccably.
