Gold Filled Wire for Jewellery Making
As the leading supplier of the UK’s biggest range of bullion, here at Cooksongold we have everything the jewellery maker needs – including our latest range of high-quality, gold filled wire for jewellery making.
Gold Filled Wire vs. Gold Plated
Gold filled jewellery wire is created by mechanically bonding a layer of gold to a layer of base metal – in many cases, brass. On the other hand, gold plating deposits a thin layer of gold onto the surface of another alloy (typically copper or silver) using chemical or electrochemical plating methods. Otherwise known as “rolled gold” or “gold bonded wire”, the outer gold layer of gold filled jewellery wire is required to be at least 1/20 of the overall metal content by weight. Gold filled wire is, as a result, a higher-quality, more cost-effective choice of jewellery making wire.
Our range of gold filled wire for jewellery making consists of all round shaped wire and is sold either soft and fully annealed or half hard. The round gold filled wire is easy to work with and ideal for creating a range of pieces including jump rings, bracelets and more. Unlike gold plating, gold filled wire can be soldered using 9ct or 14ct gold easy solder.
