Bezel Wire Data

Bezel wire is a thin, malleable strip of metal used to create bezels - the frames that encase and secure gemstones in jewelry.

It is typically made from precious metals like gold, silver and copper to complement the aesthetic of the jewelry piece.

Bezel wire allows for precise and secure setting of stones. Its flexibility enables jewelers to wrap it tightly around gemstones of various shapes and sizes, ensuring a snug fit that keeps the stone securely in place.

In addition to our Copper Bezel wire available from the Tool Shop we have the following standard sizes of precious metal bezel wires, with the approximate weight per metre.
