Specifications

Fine 26 Gauge for Detailed Work

The fine 26 gauge diameter provides the flexibility needed for intricate wirework and repeated wrapping.

It is especially useful for:

• Detailed wire wrapping

• Wire weaving

• Binding

• Beadwork

• Decorative coils

• Fine wire accents

• Wrapping around heavier wire

• Embellishing jewelry components

• Mixed-media projects

• Intricate craft work

The smaller diameter allows multiple wraps or woven passes without creating the bulk of a heavier wire.

Silver-Plated Copper Construction

ParaWire Silver Plated Craft Wire begins with a 99% pure smooth copper core.

The copper is plated with 99% pure fine silver, and a tinted protective coating is applied over the silver to create the Titanium color and help resist tarnishing.

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

Titanium Color Finish

Titanium provides a darker metallic neutral that works well for contemporary jewelry, wire art, and designs where a less traditional metallic color is desired.

It can be paired with beads, stones, silver-tone components, gold-tone elements, or contrasting ParaWire colors.

Titanium is the color of the finish. The wire itself is not made from titanium metal.

Soft Temper for Wrapping & Weaving

ParaWire colored craft wire is soft temper, which is especially useful in a fine 26 gauge size.

The combination of a small diameter and soft temper allows the wire to bend easily around beads, frames, and heavier base wires.

This makes it well suited to techniques involving repeated wrapping, weaving, coiling, and binding.

26 Gauge vs. 24 Gauge

The 26 gauge Titanium ParaWire is finer and more flexible than the 24 gauge version.

Choose 24 gauge when you want a little more body for detailed wrapping, beadwork, smaller components, and decorative accents.

Choose 26 gauge when you want increased flexibility for intricate wrapping, weaving, binding, and repeated passes around other components.

Use with Heavier Gauges

26 gauge wire works particularly well as a detail wire around heavier structural gauges.

Use heavier wire to create the primary frame or shape, then use 26 gauge Titanium wire to:

• Bind wires together

• Wrap around a frame

• Create woven patterns

• Secure decorative elements

• Add beads

• Form decorative coils

• Add fine embellishments

This allows the heavier wire to provide structure while the 26 gauge wire adds detail.

150-Foot Roll

This roll contains 150 feet of 26 gauge wire, providing plenty of material for techniques that use longer lengths or repeated wraps.

The additional footage is especially useful for weaving, binding, beadwork, and other fine-wire techniques that can consume substantial amounts of wire.

Protective Non-Tarnish Coating

ParaWire applies a tinted, flexible coating over the fine-silver plating to create the Titanium color and help protect the wire from tarnishing.

The coating is designed to withstand normal wear and manipulation. Using smooth, undamaged pliers and wire-working tools helps minimize scratching and abrasion during fabrication.

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