The Beadsmith’s Memory Wire is perfect for creating continuous, multi-strand jewelry that has flexibility while holding its coil shape. Made in multiple sizes: necklace/choker, bracelet, bangle and rings, this hard tempered wire is available in three finishes: Regular (Dull), Bright (Shiny), & Stainless Steel (Rustproof). The plating on BeadSmith’s stainless steel memory wire provides a rich lustrous color worthy of showing off - you can create your own beautiful and unique jewelry using just a few leftover beads! Choose from four elegant finishes: Gold Color, Silver Color, Copper Color and Black Oxide. Memory wire allows you to make very quick jewelry projects. You can stick with something simple, like a basic single string of beads on a single length of memory wire or use multiple strands of wire to create more complex designs. The strength of memory wire makes it incredibly difficult to cut with ordinary wire cutters, so you should use the special memory wire shears or end cutters. If you want to create a single length of beading on memory wire, cut a length that is longer than a single circle for overlap so the wire to stay in place when worn. Please watch your fingers when snipping the wire, as the coil can snap back on your hand. Before you start stringing your wire, you may want to use a beard board or a bead mat to lay out your design first. This really helps you avoid making mistakes and perfect your design before threading your wire. Once you have cut the length you need, you should finish off one end of your memory wire to prevent beads from falling off. You can choose to use memory wire ends caps, which are half drilled round beads that can be glued in place. You can also decide to loop the ends of your wire. Use round nose pliers or memory wire finishing pliers to create coils on both ends of your jewelry piece. Add a little charge to the ending for extra embellishment.
