Wire Wrap Ideas for Beginners

by Dale Armstrong
Question:

Should I always use gold or sterling silver "filled" wire for wrapping or is it possible to use other wires. I have fallen in love with wire wrapping. Help me with what gauges to use because I want to sell my product.

Answer:

Love the energy here "Welcome to our 'twisted' world!" Wire wrapping really is addictive once you get into it.

The way you describe mixing metals based on price, stone vibe, and style hits the nail on the head.

Copper, silver, argentium they each bring their own personality and feel.

And then brass and bronze add that rustic charm for folks who want something a little different.

What's your favorite metal to work with so far? Or are you still experimenting?
