  • Our take on the 26 Gauge Half Hard Wire

    This is round 26 gauge jewelry wire in a half-hard temper, sold by the foot in sterling silver, gold filled or rose gold filled. At 26 gauge it is fine and flexible enough for wrapping small gemstones, linking beads and briolette wraps, while half-hard temper gives it more spring-back and shape retention than dead-soft wire. It suits wire wrappers and beaders working on earrings and delicate designs. Compared with 24 or 22 gauge, it holds small stones with less bulk but bends more easily under stress, so it is not the pick for structural pieces.

    Questions and answers

    What is half-hard wire good for?
    Half-hard wire resists bending and holds its shape better than dead-soft wire. It suits wrapped settings, links and designs that need to keep their form.
    Is 26 gauge strong enough for earrings?
    Yes for light earrings, bead links and small stone wraps. It is too thin for clasps, heavy pendants or pieces that take daily pulling.
    What is the difference between sterling silver and gold filled?
    Sterling silver is solid 92.5% silver. Gold filled has a thick layer of gold bonded to a base metal core, so it wears longer than gold plating but is not solid gold.
    Can I use this wire for briolette wrapping?
    Yes. The fine gauge passes through small briolette holes and wraps neatly around the top without hiding the stone.
    How much wire comes in one order?
    Each order is 1 foot of round wire. Measure your design before ordering, since small wraps use only a few inches each.
    Where is the 26 Gauge Half Hard Wire cheapest?
    At The Bead Gallery Honolulu, for $3.95, as of our latest check.
