Memory Wire

Memory wire in two gauges, continuous or ready cut lengths

Memory wire is simple but effective. It is designed to keep its shape. If necessary cut with memory wire cutters (it will seriously blunt other cutters). Bend loops at each end to keep your beads from sliding around and slipping off.

Frequently asked questions about the collection: Memory Wire

Q: Do you have little end beads for memory wire?
A: I'm afraid we don't currently have any memory wire ends in our range but our 3mm spacer beads www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Silver-plated-round-3mm/bo4370 work just as well secured with a little bit of epoxy glue www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Epoxy-two-part-glue/bo1018.

Q: Do you not sell the heavy weight memory wire continuous strand in a medium size?
A: We only stock the standard size of memory wire bracelet which is 50mm wide.

Q: Do you sell memory wire bracelets to fit children
A: The memory wire coils MWS www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Heavyweight-memory-wire-bracelet/bo7684?sid=2834#item2834 would be the best size for a child but they might be still a bit big as they are more intended for adults. You can bend and shape memory wire with pliers, squeezing it into a tighter coil, it takes some strength but can be done!

Q: Do you sell memory wire necklaces? (not the chokers)
A: We currently only stock the 2 options for memory wire necklaces/chokers one is 105mm and sold in a continuous coil which you can see here: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Heavyweight-memory-wire-large/bo4144?sid=2833#item2833 and the other is the 130mm pre cut option here: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Memory-wire-choker/bo4146?sid=2845#item2845 It will depend on each person's neck measurements as to whether they will actually fit like a choker.

Q: do you sell the memory wire end caps at all?
A: We don't currently sell the memory wire ends but use can use our 2.4mm www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Silver-plated-round-2-4mm/bo4368 www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Silver-plated-round-3mm/bo4370 and 3mm metal round spacer beads in the same way. You will need to glue these on and I would recommend our epoxy glue www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Epoxy-two-part-glue/bo1018 as it is very strong particularly on metal items and dries clear. Alternatively you can bend the ends of your memory wire into loops with a pair of round nosed pliers.

Q: do you sell wine glass charm rings
A: We don't have a product specifically intended for this purpose but a lot of our customers have made wine glass charms using either hanging hoops at www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/home/search.php?searchfor=hanging+hoop or memory wire rings at www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Memory-wire-ring/bo4148

Q: Does your memory wire come in copper or antique colors ?
A: No, just the dark silver shade you see listed. We have other bendable wire in copper here - www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Copper-wire/bo4195

Q: hi im quite new to this beading . im trying to find out how you finish off the ends of memory wire? just dont seem to be able to do it ? thankyou 4 any help
A: To finish off the ends of memory wire, you can either attach a stopper like a small bead and glue it into place (or use memory wire ends - we can't source any memory wire ends that are sufficiently low in nickel content to satisfy EU Nickel regulations, but you can buy them from various American companies) or you can use pliers to bend the ends over and back on themselves to form a spiral or a loop.

Q: Hi, are there any advantages/disadvantages between the lighter memory wire and the heavier wire? I want to use the bracelets with gemstone chips and 6mm glass beads. Regards
A: I'd recommend the heavier weight memory wire if you'll be using heavy stones and glass beads as heavy beads could alter the shape of the lightweight wire.

Q: I am looking for bracelet wire slightly thicker than memory wire can you help?
A: You could try our various coloured and plated wires www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Metal-Based-Wire/c435 they're flexible and easy to use but they won't spring back into shape like memory wire.

Q: I am looking for some memory wire to make children's bracelets with, would MWS31 be ok - what does the 50mm represent? diameter of the coils?
A: The 50mm is the approximate diameter. This is the size of the memory wire bracelet, measured from one side to the other at its widest point. The memory wire can be stretched bigger if needed, but 50mm would probably be a good size for a child's bracelet.

Q: I wish to make bracelets with difering numbers of coils. Do you supply memory wire in long lengths whic I can then cut into say 3,4 or 5 coils?
A: Yes we have Memory wire that come in a continuous length which you can cut to your desired length www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Heavyweight-memory-wire-small/bo4145 there are approximately 75 coils per pack.

Q: I've made some memory wire necklaces but the ends are very sharp. How do I finish them off securely and attractively?
A: Yes memory wire can be really sharp and scratchy at the ends. You can either bend it over into a fancy scroll or loop with pliers and a bit of determination, or you glue on tiny metal spacer beads, the 2.4mm spacers are the best size for memory wire.

Q: Is your memory wire suitable for people with a nickel allergy?
A: All our findings comform to the EU Nickel directives but if you have a strong allergy I'm afraid I would avoid all plated findings including memory wire.

Q: To finish off I have made loops in the ends of the memory wire but it doesn't look very professional. Is there a better way to finish off memory wire necklaces
A: To finish off the ends of memory wire, you can attach a stopper like a small bead and glue it into place. Our 2.4mm spacers www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Silver-plated-round-2-4mm/bo4368?sid=1565#item1565 are great for this. You can get special memory wire ends from the US but we can't find any that comply with EU nickel regulations.

Q: what gauge is your heavyweight memory wire?
A: The heavyweight memory wire is 0.6mm which is 24 gauge, I think.

Q: what is DMC memory wire and do you stock it?
A: A coloured thread with a wire running through, so that it will hold its shape. The closest thing we have to this is our gympa wire www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Gympa-1mm/bo4222

Q: what size memory wire to use for wine glass charms
A: Try the ring size memory wire www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Memory-Wire/c429

Q: Where can heavier weight memory wire to hold larger beads be located?
A: We sell heavy weight Memory wire by beadalon www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Memory-Wire/c429.

Q: Where can I buy smaller circles of memory to fit a childs wrists. The regular memory wire is much to big.
A: We have two types of Memory wire our own pre-cut 4 coil bracelets and Beadalon remembrance wire which comes on a continuous coil. The Beadalon bracelets are slightly smaller than our pre cut ones with a diameter of 50mm and these are beadalons smallest size bracelet. It will also depend on the size of beads you are using because if they are quite large they will make the bracelet size smaller.

Q: Where can I purchase child sized memory wire. .
A: The smallest memory wire bracelet we stock is 50mm www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Small-memory-wire-bracelet/bo7676?sid=8990#item8990 which is ideal for children's bracelets.

Q: which size of memory wire is best for children's bracelets?
A: The bracelet size memory wire would be best, it will be too big but you can reshape it by pulling it into a tighter coil with pliers. Memory wire is tough stuff so once you have re-shaped it should spring back into the shape you've given it.
