Please note this is actually bare copper wire. There is a little confusion with the item description because it seems recycled from other Artistic Wire products (you may have seen other Artistic Wire spools with green or purple or orange coatings, for example). What I received was BARE copper wire with no non-tarnish coating (this is what I wanted). I have played around with patinas and they have taken, which to me is confirmation of no enamel coating and no non-tarnish coating. If you want this not to tarnish, keep it in a small, closed container with one of those 3M anti-tarnish tabs (the same goes for any jewelry items made from it). Or seal it with some kind of sealant or spray, though sealants usually need to be periodically reapplied.
This seems to be dead soft. I can manipulate it with my hands though I prefer using nylon-jaw pliers. (Depending on what I want to do, sometimes I just use non-coated pliers. For example, if I want to use bail-making or roundnose pliers, I'll just use the bare steel ones. I have not yet had to anneal it to re-soften it but that is always a possibility if you work it too much. This cuts easily with my small Eurotool flush cutters.
I'm not saying my wire wrapping looks very good yet, but that is on me. I just need more practice. I am pretty good at making eyepins (really, something everyone should learn to make, as it's just silly to pay for finished ones that might not even be the length you want) with this so far, and I've made some paddle-type headpins by pounding the end of a cut piece with a hammer.
Anyway, this was a good purchase for practice with wire wrapping and for making headpins and eyepins. I'll likely go back to the same product when I run out.
Another great thing is that the price is reasonable-not inflated simply because it's for jewelry. It's priced similarly to copper wire from a hardware store but is in an easier to use roll.
It's thin enough that you don't necessarily need to anneal it like some thicker copper wires. The thicker the wire, the less times you can twist and turn it without it breaking. Normally, on a 20 or 22 gauge I cover the pieces with flux and burn that off with a torch to anneal it and make it flexible. In the case of this thinner wire, I haven't had to do that. I just don't go too long with the strips of wire.
One really great look for this is texturing and distressing two separate pieces, lining up holes with a tiny hole punch along both, then wiring them together with the copper wire. Hard to mess up and makes an interesting piece.
I hope you find this helpful!
