Wire is one of the most important materials in making the wire-wrapped jewelry. Who would have guessed? It comes in a variety of materials, sizes and hardness. So choosing what you want can be a little tricky. Copper wire is the most common and affordable option, so it is perfect for beginners.
Copper is a popular choice for jewelry making for many reasons. It has a beautiful color and has many opportunities for patinating. It is easy to work with and relatively inexpensive to buy. Copper is often recommended as a great material for beginners who would like to get some practice with wire. It gives you great practice before moving on to the more expensive sterling silver option.
I myself really love copper wire and often make jewelry out of it. In almost all of my lessons, I use copper wire.

I usually use long pieces of wire. You can always cut off excess wire at the end of the job.
