well I got some from one wire-sculpture.com in 22 gage HH  the square is a finger buster So I went to RioGrande to see if maybe they had it and bought a pound of it in the soft the half-round in HH is good as it holds better. here is a fused glass cab wrapped in the bronze  its a warm shade between copper and brass but if you did not know any better its real close to what a rose gold looks like |

I haven't tried that yet, but I have heard a lot of good things about it. Thanks for sharing.

very nice piece... I plan to take a course in wire wrapping at my rock club... as soon as a spot opens. They have a full lapidary setup with all the equipment there available for club members to use.

Another choice for selling finished jewelry at a price that won't break the bank!
I plan on using the HH bronze for rings and bracelets, it will be very good for that.

Be careful with the bracelets! HH is a hand buster with detailed stuff. I started out with the hh, so getting used to soft, for me, is pretty difficult. I'm not use to the wire being so pliable and not having a bite to it. I really like the color of the bronze! Let me know how I do iwth it.

I have used the HH and full hard stuff before making other items such as wire wrapped belt buckles and when I first started out leaning to wire wrap I used only HH in gold-filled and sterling so its not a stranger to me actually working in stainless steel is more of a finger buster than any of the other wire I plan on making the framework of the bracelet in HH and use the soft for attaching stones so it should not be that bad  |
