Memory wire is tempered wire that "remembers" its shape and retains its coiled form. The best memory wire is made from stainless steel and is corrosion and tarnish resistant. It's basically one-size-fits-all and comes in
pre-formed necklace, bracelet and ring sizes. You can make designs with single or multiple loops.

No clasp needed

Use only memory wire shears for cutting- memory wire is hardened - it will dent your ordinary wire cutters
