Our take on the Artistic Wire 20 Gauge Craft Wire

Artistic Wire 20 gauge craft wire is a bare solid copper wire on a 6-yard spool, made for jewelry making, wire wrapping and general craft work. At 20 gauge it is medium-fine: stiff enough to hold a shape in wraps, links and small frames, yet workable with pliers and fingers. It is a single-material, uncoated copper wire, so it patinas over time and conducts, unlike tarnish-resistant craft wires. Buyers rate it highly for consistency and finish; the main trade-offs are the short spool length and the softness of bare copper compared with harder tempers.

Pros
  • Solid copper, not copper-colored base metal
  • 20 gauge holds shape well for wraps and small structures
  • Even, smooth finish with no kinks out of the spool
  • Works with standard jewelry pliers and hand tools
  • Bare copper takes solder and patina solutions
Cons
  • 6-yard spool runs out fast on larger projects
  • Bare copper tarnishes and darkens over time
  • Softer than half-hard wire, so it bends under load
  • Not ideal for pieces that need spring or memory

Questions and answers

What is 20 gauge wire good for?
It is a medium-fine gauge suited to wire wrapping, links, small frames and detail work. It is too fine for heavy structural pieces that need to bear weight.
Is this wire bare copper or coated?
It is solid bare copper with no coating. It will patina and darken with handling and time, and it conducts electricity.
How much wire is on the spool?
Each spool holds 6 yards of 20 gauge wire. That is enough for several small jewelry pieces but short for large projects.
Can I use this wire for soldering?
Yes. Bare copper takes solder and patina solutions, unlike coated craft wires. Clean the surface first for a reliable joint.
How does it compare with half-hard wire?
It is softer and bends more easily than half-hard wire. It shapes well by hand but holds less spring and structure.

At Bead Inspirations, for $4.99, 50% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
