I work with natural stones and natural metals (copper, nickel silver, brass, bronze, test silver 925).

Wire is one of the most important materials for making wire-wrapped jewelry. Who would have thought? It comes in a variety of materials, sizes and hardness. Therefore, choosing what you want can be a little tricky. Copper wire is the most common and affordable option, so it’s perfect for beginners.
Copper is a popular choice for jewelry making for many reasons. It has a beautiful color and many possibilities for patination. 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 practice with wire. This 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.

Use appropriate wire thickness. I make jewelry of wire 1 mm (18 ga) and 0.4 mm (26 ga) thick. You can use wire with a thickness of 0.8 mm (20 ga) and 0.3 mm (28 ga).

The ring will be made of copper wire.

I used a wooden ring mandrel but you can use anything that will allow you to wrap the wire around it in the shape of a ring.

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

For my jewelry I use only natural wire (copper, nickel silver, bronze, brass, silver). I patinate jewelry with wire with special solutions and polish with felt circles using polishing pastes. Sometimes, so that the wire does not darken over time, I coat the metal with a special varnish.
