Wire Drawing

Hunting around for reliable jewellery wire drawing equipment for your workshop? Whether you’re forming a copper wire, refining 925 silver, or preparing stock for jump rings, bails, and clasps, you’ll find the right tools here. Our range supports jewellers working with copper and wire, gold filled metal, and other alloys commonly used in jewellery making supplies across Australia.

Our selection is suited to both small studios and established trade workshops. Wire drawing is a fundamental process for creating components used in silver chain, beading, gemstone settings for amethyst, sapphire, or zircon, and structural elements for custom pieces. Our focus is on durability, accuracy, and compatibility with the broader range of jewellery tools Australia relies on every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What metals can be used for jewellery wire drawing?

Common materials include sterling silver (925 silver), copper, gold filled metal, and other jewellery alloys. The metal should be properly annealed before drawing.

2. Do I need to anneal wire during the drawing process?

Yes. As wire work-hardens during drawing, periodic annealing with a blow torch is required to prevent cracking and ensure a smooth finish.

3. What size drawplate should I choose?

Select a drawplate that suits your starting gauge and desired final size. Many jewellers use calipers to measure progress accurately, particularly when preparing wire for settings, chains, or soldering work.
