Using the proper wire wrapping products is an important part to creating beautiful wrapped wire jewelry. There are tools used for beading that will also work for wire wrapping. Most online jewelry supply stores will carry wire wrapping tools in addition to their other beading and jewelry tools.

Tools commonly used in wire wrapping are jigs, pliers, anvils and mandrels. When making high-end jewelry, the most common types of wire are copper, silver and gold. When purchasing jewelry wire wrapping supplies, look for the following:

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Whether you are training an employee in the art of wire wrapping or are teaching a class to clients, it is critical to learn the basics of this art. Review online tutorials or purchase jewelry crafting books to help you brush up on your skills and techniques.

I recommend: Delphi Glass carries books and videos that give wire wrapping instructions. They also carry an extensive line of wire wrapping products. Wig Jig has online tutorials for wire wrapping.

When you are looking to purchase wire jewelry wrapping tools, there are many online sources available to fulfill your needs. Many online suppliers offer competitive deals so do some comparison shopping before making your final purchase.

I recommend: There are several wire wrapping products providers to choose from. Save-on-Crafts carries several jigs as well as many other wire wrapping tools. Jewelry Supply offers individual wire wrapping tools as well as kits. Liberty Wire Artworks has tools that are geared toward professional jewelers and are higher in quality.

Purchase wire wrapping supplies


Sterling silver, copper and gold are the three most popular wires used for wire wrapping. These three metals are popular because they maintain their integrity even after being worn many times. Other available wires come in different colors and are made from less expensive metals like aluminum. Aluminum and other less expensive wires will fade and change colors.

I recommend: Home Jewelry is a wire wrapping products supplier that carries higher end wires that are perfect for the more elegant pieces of jewelry you will make. Brightlings Beads carries a variety of high and low quality wires, offers free shipping for orders over $25 and even sends coupons via email to their frequent customers.
