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 Most Artistic Wire colors are originally made of copper, with a colored layer.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 stainless steel. This type of metal is slightly harder than copper, so you need to use a little more force when bending. therefore, this wire is described as MEDIUM/HALF HARD. An advantage of stainless steel is that it does not patina or oxidize. It can only darken a bit due to body contact with lotions, oils, soaps etc.
