Specifications

Versatile 20 Gauge Wire

20 gauge is a versatile size for jewelry making and general wirework because it provides a useful combination of workability and shape retention.

Use it for loops, spirals, coils, decorative links, wire-wrapped components, and other designs where the wire itself contributes both structure and visual detail.

Natural Copper with a Clear Protective Coating

The Natural finish showcases the warm, bright appearance of copper without adding another color. A clear coating is applied over the copper to help protect it from tarnishing while allowing the natural copper color to show through.

This makes it an excellent choice when you want the appearance of copper but prefer a protected finish rather than completely bare, untreated wire.

Soft Temper for Easy Forming

ParaWire's soft temper makes the wire malleable and easy to manipulate. It can be bent, wrapped, coiled, and formed with less resistance than harder-tempers, making it well suited to designs that require repeated manipulation.

As with other metal wire, working and manipulating the wire can gradually work-harden it.

Ideal For

• Jewelry making
• Wire wrapping
• Loops and spirals
• Decorative links
• Wire-wrapped components
• Coils and formed designs
• Beaded jewelry
• Decorative craft projects
• Designs featuring a natural copper color
