For sure, each of us at least once saw sets for self-making jewelry: bracelets , necklaces. They include a variety of beads and a special wire for stringing them, which already has the shape of a future decoration. But very few people know that such sets use a special wire with memory.
Wire with memory effect
A wire with a memory or, as it is otherwise called, a memorial wire is a metal wire, twisted into rings of different diameters, used to make various ornaments. The memory effect is the ability of the wire to take the original shape after stretching and twisting. That is, by making a bracelet from such a wire, you can be sure that its shape will always be unchanged. Since such a base material is not prone to deformation, it is necessary to select it from the very beginning for this or that object, which is supposed to be made. Usually, the memorial wire is sold in coils, in which there are circles of different diameters: the largest for a necklace, the middle for a bracelet, and the smallest coils can be used to make rings. There are also coils of wire with memory, in which all circles have one diameter. This is convenient if you make a large number of jewelry of one kind. For example, bracelets for sale. Depending on the idea, you can also buy a similar wire in the colors of a variety of metals, it can be an imitation of bronze, and a golden hue, and a light, reminiscent of silver. The main thing is that the wire should be in harmony with the color of the beads that will be strung on it, because it will somehow be seen in the gaps between the beads or at the end and the beginning of the product.
Products from wire with memory
As a filler of such ornaments, beads of different size and texture, beads and various pendants are used, giving a more interesting appearance to the finished product.
Bracelets on the memorial wire can be the simplest and affordable in the manufacture, even for a beginner, when the wire is consistently strung beads. And they can have a more complex design. So, very unusual and beautiful look models of bracelets from beads on the memorial wire, when several voluminous bands with beads intersect intricately, forming an interesting weaving on the hand. The alternation of various materials also gives the decoration a stylish appearance and uniqueness. For example, a bracelet made of beads on a memory wire may contain inclusions of larger beads or have a variety of pendants.
Necklace made from wire memories can also have the most unusual appearance. Starting from the fact that the metal base itself can be used as a decorative element, and the beads can be sewn sparingly, in a chaotic order to create the effect of lightness and airiness. For such products, wire with a memory with gold leaf, or painted for precious metals: platinum and silver, is usually used. Especially expensive look jewelry of this kind, if the beads are selected in the color of gold-plated or silvered wire with memory. The shape of these ornaments can also be different. The necklace does not have to be a classic shape with a clasp at the back. It is possible that an unclosed circle of wire will be placed in such a way that its ends will be in front, and their unusual decor will perfectly complement the festive or everyday image.
