Artistic Wire, 26 Gauge Tarnish Resistant Brass Craft Wire, 30 yd

Nice color and work well for my Jew creations.

Great product. Came on time.

I've been getting into working with brass lately after sticking mostly to copper in the past. I am doing projects and practicing techniques from a lot of books, and some of them call for 10 gauge wire, so I bought this. 10 gauge wire is actually pretty thick. I find it somewhat difficult to work with, even when dead soft. This is not the fault of the wire; it has more to do with my weak hands and wrists (I tend to buy smaller tools because I have small hands, and that may also come into play). But, this is a great size of wire if you want to hammer it into a thin bangle or cuff (though I haven't tried soldering it just yet). You may want to use nylon-tipped pliers or get some of that stuff you dip pliers into, to coat them, before using them with this wire (so you don't mar the surface). I am happy with the quality of this wire. It has a color that matches my other brass wire, findings, and blanks. It doesn't hurt to polish it a bit as that will improve the appearance. I had to get some larger wire-cutters for this because my tiny Eurotool flush cutters weren't heavy-duty enough. But it is good to have a range of tools so you can use the right one for the job. In terms of being actual 10 gauge brass wire, working with this, etc., I am happy. It is exactly what I expected it to be. If you are new to wire work, you may want to start with a smaller gauge (i.e., higher number) to get a feel for what you are doing. But when you are ready to move on to more complex or larger designs, this stuff is great for practice.

It is a pretty good wire, though it wasn't what I meant to order. I don't like tarnish resistant wire because I patina everything I make. I gave this away because it is useless for me. But the person to whom I gave it liked it a lot. Mad at myself for wasting $13; I need to be more careful with my orders, haha. But, none of it was the fault of the wire or its manufacturer. I got what I ordered, and it is a sturdy and workable wire. You will be happy with it if shiny, shiny yellow wire is your kind of thing. It is indeed very very shiny and very very yellow, and would probably be great for kid's jewelry since they like to play princess and such. Also, since it does not really tell you here, you should know that this wire is half-hard, so if you are needing a dead soft, this won't be what you want.
