Artistic Wire 30 Gauge Tarnish Resistant Coloured Copper Wire

Product Summary

Artistic Wire's signature coloured copper craft wire: a soft copper core wrapped in a smooth, protective enamel coating in rich, fade-resistant colours. Supplied on generous spools, it's the wire jewellery makers reach for when colour is the whole point of the design.

Uses & Benefits

30 gauge is very fine: made for Viking knit, micro-weaving and other techniques that need gossamer-thin, strong wire. The copper core keeps it wonderfully malleable, and the enamel coating keeps colours bright against wear and tarnish.

FAQs

Is it real copper? Yes — a solid copper core with a coloured protective coating, so it shapes and work-hardens like copper.

What does tarnish resistant mean? The enamel coating seals the copper from the air, keeping the colour true — unlike bare copper, which darkens over time.

Is 30 gauge right for me? 30GA is for Viking knit and micro-weaving. Choose 24–26GA for general wrapping.
