Materials needed in DIY the easy wire wrapped pendant:
To make the pendant, we need a flat bead with a hole in agate and a copper wire 1 mm and 0.4 mm thick. You can replace the copper wire with another wire. Usually I use long pieces of wire. You can always cut off excess wire at the end of the job.
I work with natural stones and natural metals (copper, nickel silver, brass, bronze, test silver 925).
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).
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.

Patinating and polishing copper wire.
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.
I have been making jewelry all my life. I have been making wire jewelry for over 20 years and I don’t want to keep this knowledge to myself. That’s why I make tutorials about wire jewelry making. Thus I can share everything I learned with you.
