This is a 16-gauge copper craft wire with a lacquered, tarnish-resistant finish, sold by The Beadsmith for jewelry making and wire wrapping. At 16 gauge it is on the thicker side of hobby wire: firm enough to hold a shape and support pendants or stone settings, but still bendable by hand with tools. It is lead- and nickel-free, which matters for pieces worn against skin. Compared with bare copper wire, the lacquer slows darkening and keeps the antique brass tone; compared with thinner 20- or 22-gauge wire, it is stiffer and less suited to fine, delicate loops.

This is 16-gauge copper wire for making and repairing jewelry. It has a lacquered finish that resists tarnish, so finished pieces keep a professional look. The wire is malleable and strong, and it contains no lead or nickel.
Bend and loop it to wrap pendants, join components in a bracelet, or secure stones in a setting. It can also be used as a single strand or twisted together for a stronger wire. You can string beads along it for beading projects or hair adornments.
