Artistic Wire is the industry standard for wrapping and craft wire. Reliable anti-tarnish coating, high quality plating and true colors give you long lasting wire for so many products. Artistic Wire is classified as Dead Soft meaning it is highly malleable for many purposes. If you require a stiffer wire then German Style or German Wire are half hard options for more experiences wire workers.
All Artistic Wire (except the Non-Tarnish Brass) is copper-based. In the case of the silver plated colors, the copper is first covered in silver then the polyurethane colored coating is applied over the silver. It is the silver coat that makes the colors so brilliant. In the case of the Non-Tarnish Silver, we put clear polyurethane over the silver-covered copper. The polyurethane protects the silver from oxygen and makes it non-tarnishing.
