What is a good malleable metal wire for jewelry making?


I am just learning to make metal jewelry; and I know sterling silver wire is probably the best, but I want to start out with something cheaper so I can practice mess up and learn before I spend a lot of money.

I am looking for something malleable, so that I can hammer it and make it flat.

Also I would prefer a thicker gauge.

Thanks!

Try copper. If you’re looking just for small quantities, consider using solid core electrical wire (not the stranded sort used for lamp cord). Just peel off the insulation.
