Memory Wires & Memory Wire Coils
Memory wire is a pre-formed, heat treated carbon or stainless steel wire that keeps its shape and strength after bending or twisting. Memory wire provides a base for memory wire bracelets, memory wire chokers, memory wire necklaces, and memory wire rings, extending to fancy memory wire wine glass charms and memory wire napkin rings.

Bead cement is used to finish memory wire loops, gluing in place Memory Wire End Caps or alterntively heavy duty pliers are used to roll end loops which are then hidden with a suitably sized bead. Having been tempered, memory wire is very hard so memory wire pliers or wire cutters should be used when reducing its length to avoid damaging jewellery cutters.
