All you need is some wire and a few hand tools, very inexpensive. There is also another extremely helpful tool that can end up saving you massive frustration and a lot of money in wire costs: a wire straightener. The easiest way to straighten jewelry wire is yep, with a wire straightener tool. Unfortunately, I was several years into making jewelry before I discovered nylon soft jaw pliers (the wire straightener tool). These pliers have square, flat, plastic tips on them.
Shapes of Jewelry Making Wire. Round - Shape most often used to make wire jewelry. Some jewelry artists, like myself, prefer to use round versus square wire as the primary wire used to make wire wrapped jewelry. Small gauge round wire can be used as the wrapping wire in making wire wrapped jewelry. Square - Shape most often used to make wire wrapped jewelry. Square wire has edges that provide a better grip on a stone when its wire wrapped. Half Round - Primarily used as the wrapping wire in wire wrapped jewelry.
