Specifications

Fine 24 Gauge for Detailed Wirework

At approximately .020" in diameter, 24 gauge is finer and more flexible than 18, 20, and 22 gauge wire.

Its smaller diameter makes it especially useful when a project requires detailed wrapping or smaller components rather than a heavier structural wire.

Use it for:

• Detailed wire wrapping

• Beadwork

• Small loops and coils

• Decorative spirals

• Wire embellishments

• Binding components

• Pendant details

• Ornaments

• Mixed-media projects

• Fine decorative wirework

Silver-Plated Copper Construction

ParaWire Silver Plated Craft Wire begins with a 99% pure smooth copper core that is plated with 99% pure fine silver before the final color coating is applied.

This construction combines the workability of copper craft wire with fine-silver plating beneath the decorative Gold finish.

This is silver-plated copper craft wire, not solid gold, gold-filled, or gold-plated wire.

Gold Color Finish

The Gold finish provides a warm metallic appearance for jewelry and decorative projects.

Use it alone for coordinated gold-tone designs or combine it with contrasting ParaWire colors, beads, stones, and other components.

Gold is a distinct color within ParaWire's Silver Plated Craft Wire collection.

Soft Temper for Wrapping & Shaping

ParaWire specifies its colored craft wire as soft temper, giving this 24 gauge wire excellent workability for bending, wrapping, coiling, and shaping.

The finer diameter makes it easier to manipulate than heavier gauges, particularly when making repeated wraps or working around smaller components.

24 Gauge vs. 22 Gauge

The 24 gauge Gold ParaWire is finer and more flexible than the 22 gauge version.

Choose 22 gauge when you want more body for smaller loops, links, connectors, coils, and components.

Choose 24 gauge when greater flexibility is preferred for detailed wrapping, beadwork, binding, and decorative accents.

Pair with Heavier Wire

24 gauge wire is particularly useful when paired with a heavier structural gauge.

Use 18 or 20 gauge wire to create a frame, pendant structure, or primary shape, then use 24 gauge Gold wire to wrap, bind, or add decorative detail.

This allows different gauges to perform different functions while maintaining a consistent Gold finish throughout the design.

100-Foot Roll

The 100-foot length provides considerably more working wire than the heavier Gold ParaWire gauges in this series.

The additional footage is useful for techniques involving repeated wraps, multiple components, beadwork, and other projects where finer wire is consumed more quickly.

Protective Non-Tarnish Coating

ParaWire applies a tinted, flexible coating over the fine-silver plating to create the Gold color while helping protect the wire from tarnishing.

The coating is designed to withstand normal wear and manipulation. Using smooth, undamaged jewelry pliers and forming tools helps minimize scratches and abrasion during fabrication.

Extended exposure to direct sunlight, water, or high humidity can eventually weaken, fade, or discolor the coating.
