Beadalon supplies high-quality wire under the name 'Artistic Wire'. It can be divided into a few different base materials: copper, stainless steel and brass. Most Artistic Wire colors are originally made of copper, with a colored layer. The advantage of artistic wire is that the color layer is less likely to be damaged. The diameter is stated in gauges. The higher the number, the thinner the wire.

The base material of this color type is copper. This type of metal is soft to bend and is also called dead soft/soft. No further color or protective layer has been added over this wire. These wires will patina or naturally oxidize and darken with time, creating a vintage look.
