This dead-soft, 14/20 yellow gold-filled square wire is ideal for producing bangles, jewelry, cuff bracelets, and a myriad of elements that decorate various other findings. Square wire is four flat sides; the flat areas are ideal for aligning two or more strands with one another and when soldering components to the wire. Give the wire a twist to generate interesting twist wire. Very simple hoops, bangles and other components take on a fresh, dynamic look when made using square wire. Dead soft wire is easy to bend, shape and hammer; it is an ideal starting point for forming, shaping and wire-wrapping. Keep in mind that hardness is changeable (by annealing or heat-hardening) and is relative among metal types (each temper will feel and handle differently from one metal to another). When finishing your pieces, also keep in mind that the harder the metal is actually, the brighter a finish it will take.
