Silver Plated Memory Wire for Necklaces
Memory wire is a type of wire commonly used in jewellery making that is made from a special alloy that retains its shape. It is often used in creating bracelets, necklaces, and rings as it forms a continuous loop without the need for a clasp. The wire is called "memory" because it can be stretched and manipulated into different shapes and still retain its original form, making it perfect for jewellery projects. Additionally, because memory wire is pre-coiled, it can save time and effort in the jewellery-making process, as it eliminates the need for additional wirework such as creating loops or clasps.
One of the advantages of using memory wire in jewellery making is its versatility. The wire can be cut into different sizes to create bracelets, necklaces, or rings, and can be used with a variety of different beads and embellishments. Additionally, because memory wire is pre-coiled, it can save time and effort in the jewellery-making process, as it eliminates the need for additional wirework such as creating loops or clasps. To create jewellery with memory wire, the wire is first cut to the desired length and then beads and other embellishments are strung onto it. The wire is then formed into the desired shape, such as a bracelet or necklace, and the two ends are secured using round-nose pliers.
