Can wire wrapped jewelry be made with 14K solid gold wire?
Wire wrapping techniques require a lot of bending and twisting of the wire. Wire wrapping does not involve heating or gluing. Think of it as basket weaving where materials are woven together into different shapes. Solid gold is very soft and will break apart from all these manipulations. That’s why artists are using 14K gold filled wire, which is stronger and more durable for this particular technique and style.
