Finding Wire for Jewelry Making

Jewelry wire comes in various materials, gauges and strengths so there’s a TON of variety out there!

However, if you want to keep it SIMPLE, you can get started with copper wire that you can get at your local hardware store (it’s usually available in 18 gauge and 24 gauge).

You can also find inexpensive types of wire at local craft stores such as Michael’s.

If you prefer shopping online, you will find a much bigger selection of wire for making jewelry.

Here are a few recommendations:

  • Etsy Marketplace: You can find tons of supplies on Etsy.
  • Fire Mountain Gems
  • Amazon
  • Rings and Things

At the moment, I strictly work with copper in my wire jewelry making and I get it ALL at the salvage yard.

It’s sooooo much cheaper and I am recycling so it’s a WIN-WIN!

The copper wire that I find there is electrical wire of course and it comes in different sizes so I end up walking away with all sizes from 28-32 gauge to 8 gauge – it’s awesome!

Here’s how it works with wire gauges….the lower the gauge is, the bigger the wire is.
