The Beadsmith Anodized Aluminum Wire for Crafting and Jewelry Making

Kara H.: The wire itself is fine and is good quality BUT it is mislabeled as the wrong size. I even confirmed it with my wire gauge measuring tool. I ordered 12gauge wire but the wire actually measures as a 14 gauge. I will return and probably order a different brand because I’m guessing I’ll get the same problem if I order this brand again. This is a shame because I have ordered other Bead Smith products and have been pleased.

Adam Strachota: I ordered the light copper for the 12 gauge wire and I feel as though the last couple times I ordered it the wire was “copper”. The picture looks darker and the copper wire I received is much brighter and doesn’t have the light feel to it.

CT Customer: The color and finish of this wire is beautiful. I plan to use in a floral arrangement. It is easy to bend in free form with my hands.

Rey: Maleable e inoxidable. Sin embargo es para ramas delgadas. Para un tronquito consideren una opción más gruesa

Nadain: For jewelry making and in terms of practicing wire-working, this is ok. If it is to be coiled or wrapped around a support system it will work but as a support mechanism it won't work. Aluminum by nature is soft, so it does not hold its shape. Also, it becomes brittle with working so it will break if bent and straightened several times.
I bought it because several persons mentioned that they used it for jewelry but I don't think that's a good idea if you want to make lasting, wearable, quality jewelry. The wire itself is good quality and I will keep it for experimenting with sculpture crafting, etc.

BitTwiddlerBitTwiddler: Fairly consistent color. To gauge. Can have an occasional ding, dent or imperfection in the coil.

Warrning:
Artistic Wire brand similar is 'yellow gold' or a gold you expect.
Beadaholique brand 'gold' is orangish. It does NOT match Artistic Wire. Looks good with warm colors though, great with red and black.
Beadaholique brand 'tangerine' is barely darker orange. Side by side very close. Just enough if you mix in a project you will see it.

Beadaholique brand has a smaller squarish lavender purple hangtag. Artistic Wire has a narrow light yellowish greenish hangtag.
So when looking at pictures of these two brands you will know if you see the ID hangtag which one you are looking at (the blacks do not match either, the finish looks different enough)

I have rolled a lot of this for making very heavy 'Fyre Wyrm' chaine maille chains. Rolling and cutting my own large diameter links then knitting roughly 1 inch wide chains. It bends fairly well, is very lightweight (about 1/3 the weight of copper or other metals) and I actually work these without pliers-it also avoids nicking or marring the finish. There is an issue when cutting the links about being very...
