0.6mm Gold Plated Wire

Description

Our 0.6mm gold plated wire is a substantial gauge and is great for making your own eyepins and findings. We use the 0.6mm diameter for a lot of wire wrapping, especially odd shaped stones or cabochons. This is a good practice wire when learning the basics of wire work. Not too hard on the fingers!

Used a lot with the 0.4mm silver plated wire to make decorative coils. Decorative coils help to hide joins in wire or to subtly connect two pieces together. These also add great decoration to your work!

Our silver plated wire has a 100% copper core that is certified nickel free before plating. There is approx. 10 metres of wire on each coil and goes a long way especially when you are wrapping with it. The 0.6mm diameter is very easily to manipulate with your fingers. This makes it easy to work hardened but be careful not too over work it. If you bend this wire too many times in one spot it will break but it does take some doing.

We stock a range of sizes from 0.2mm to 1.5mm. Have a look at our full range of wire for Gold Plated, Sterling Silver, and Coloured Wire. All lengths stated are approximate.
0.6mm gold plated wire is equivalent to 22 gauge wire.
