Specifications

Versatile 20 Gauge Wire

At .032" in diameter, 20 gauge is a versatile size for jewelry making and general wirework. It offers more body than finer 22, 24, and 26 gauge wire without becoming as substantial as heavier 18 gauge wire.

This balance makes it useful for projects where the wire needs to hold a formed shape while remaining manageable for hand-forming techniques.

Use it for loops, links, spirals, decorative frames, wire-wrapped components, ornaments, and other designs where both flexibility and structure are important.

Warm Antique Copper Finish

The Antique Copper finish provides the rich character of aged copper without requiring you to create a patina yourself.

Its warm, darker copper tone pairs beautifully with natural stones, earth-tone beads, wood, leather, charms, and contrasting metals. It's particularly attractive for rustic, vintage-inspired, nature-themed, and mixed-media designs.

99% Pure Copper Core

ParaWire Metallic Craft Wire starts with a 99% pure copper core. A tinted, flexible coating is baked onto the wire to create the Antique Copper color and help protect the copper from tarnishing.

Because the color comes from the coating, this wire provides a consistent Antique Copper appearance without being made from naturally oxidized or chemically patinated bare copper.

75 Feet for Jewelry & Craft Projects

Each roll contains 75 feet of 20 gauge wire, providing a generous supply for individual designs, repeated components, and larger projects.

The combination of a versatile .032" diameter and 75-foot roll makes it a practical wire to keep on the bench for everyday jewelry making and decorative wirework.
