Where can I buy cheap wire for jewelry making?
05 Mar 2010
I make wire jewelry and want to expand to gold and silver, but everything I can find is pretty pricey. I also need copper, steel, and brass wire for what I make. Know of anywhere I can find it cheap?
Try with Pasternak Findings. They offer great prices on gold and silver findings and an excellent service.
Silver wires: http://www.pasternakfindings.com/category/sterling_silver_wire
Gold wires: http://www.pasternakfindings.com/category/gold_wire
Goldfilled wires: http://www.pasternakfindings.com/category/gold_filled_wire
Of course, solid gold and silver are never cheap. These are precious metals that depend on global exchange market…
Good luck!

2010 Mar 06 1I think you can get the cooper, steel and brass wire at a Home Depot or Lowe’s at a decent price but the gold and silver the only place I can think of is at a jewelry store. The craft store that you frequent for your supplies you should ask an employee that works there, they probably will have a better idea about it.

2010 Mar 06 5At one point I worked for a company called Stuller Mountings, they are in Lafayette Louisiana and they are the largest findings and mountings company in the US (to my knowledge); I know they have their own Fedex plane. Stuller offers all kinds of wire mostly gold, platinum and silver but I believe also in alloy. If they don’t have it try A&A Findings, its a bit hard to say who has the right wire because I don’t know what gauge but both companies should have a variety of wire.
