DECORATIVE WIRE

Decorative wires are little-known materials but extremely useful for experienced artisans, who know how to get the most out of them. A clear example is wire headdresses. These accessories take full advantage of the memory capacity of these materials, that is, the ability to retain the shape given by hand.

Whether you want to make a wire headdress or anything else, in this section you will find wires of different types and of high quality. Forget the typical wire that breaks as soon as you try to shape it. That will never happen among the products in our catalog.

We have varied colors of wires. All the main colors are available here. We also have wires made of different materials. Namely, brass thread, aluminum wire, alpaca thread, copper wire, and gold thread among others.

You can get these materials in various formats. We have wire coils and wire rolls whose length varies between 1 meter and 185 meters. In terms of thickness, we have wires ranging from 0.25 millimeters to 1.1 millimeters thick.

WHAT IS A WIRE?

A wire is a thin, metallic thread made by stretching various types of metals depending on its use (iron, copper, brass, silver, aluminum...). In the past, a wire was considered as such only if it was made of copper, bronze, and/or brass.

The wire is not a recent product. In fact, brass wires more than 2000 years old have been found. In ancient times, metal sheets were beaten until they reached a certain thickness and then cut into narrow strips that were rounded by hammering to form a wire. The first mass-produced wires using machines were made in the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century.

The material, thickness, and length of the wire will depend on its intended use. For example, copper wires are primarily used for electrical wiring, while steel wires or stainless steel wires are used in industrial machinery.

Wires are also very present in our food, more precisely in the closures of packaging. You can also find them in accessories and jewelry.
