Specifications

Heavier 18 Gauge for More Structure

At .040" in diameter, 18 gauge is one of the more substantial sizes in ParaWire's standard Metallic Craft Wire range.

The additional thickness gives formed components more body than finer gauges, making it especially useful when the wire needs to become a visible structural element in the finished design.

Use it for larger loops and links, spirals, decorative frames, shaped components, pendants, ornaments, and other projects that benefit from a heavier wire.

Distinctive Army Green Finish

The Army Green finish provides a subdued, earthy alternative to brighter metallic wire colors.

Its natural-looking green tone works particularly well with earth-tone beads, wood, leather, natural stones, botanical designs, rustic themes, and mixed-media projects.

It can also provide an attractive contrast when combined with copper, bronze, black, or other complementary wire colors.

99% Pure Copper Core

ParaWire Metallic Craft Wire is made with a 99% pure copper core covered with its protective non-tarnish coating.

This construction gives you the familiar workability of copper craft wire along with a consistent decorative color that does not depend on the natural oxidation or patination of bare copper.

50 Feet for Jewelry & Craft Projects

Each roll contains 50 feet of 18 gauge wire.

Because 18 gauge is substantially thicker than the finer gauges commonly used for weaving and detailed wrapping, this roll is particularly suited to projects where the wire is being used to create individual structural or decorative elements.

• Spirals and coils

• Decorative frames

• Pendants

• Shaped wire components

• Wire art

• Ornaments

• Botanical and nature-inspired designs

What is the wire made from?

What is 18 gauge wire good for?
Its heavier .040" diameter makes it a good choice for larger loops, links, spirals, frames, pendants, shaped components, and other wirework where additional body is desirable.

How does 18 gauge compare with 20 gauge?
The 18 gauge (.040") wire is thicker and more substantial than 20 gauge (.032"). Choose 18 gauge when you want greater body and structure, while 20 gauge provides a little more flexibility for general-purpose forming and wrapping.

Is this a fine wire-weaving gauge?
Generally, finer gauges such as 24, 26, and 28 gauge are better suited to intricate weaving and repeated wraps. This heavier 18 gauge wire is better positioned for frames, larger components, and structural decorative work.

Is this bare copper?
No. This is coated copper craft wire. If you want untreated copper that will naturally tarnish and develop a patina, bare copper is a different ParaWire product.

Is the Army Green color a coating?
Yes. ParaWire's Metallic Craft Wire uses a colored non-tarnish coating over its copper core.

Where is it made?
