Yellow Brass Wire – Bright & Sturdy Jewelry Wire

Brass, a bright and musical metal, has been a favorite in jewelry-making for thousands of years. Yellow brass jewelry wire, an alloy of copper with 33% zinc, has a muted yellow hue that closely resembles gold. After polishing, it looks even more like gold!

Of course, yellow brass wire is far more affordable than gold! Not only is it an excellent alternative, but it also shares gold's malleability, making it a great practice material for jewelers. Its ease of use has made it a favorite among jewelry makers for centuries.

Use yellow brass jewelry wire to craft stunning neck rings, bracelets, and body jewelry. Did you know it’s also an eco-friendly choice? A significant percentage of all brass alloys are recycled, making it a sustainable option for jewelers.

Try the "musical metal," yellow brass, in your next jewelry piece or an entire series.
