good set for practice
This review will be pretty similar to my review of the 20 gauge wire from the same manufacturer since the products have a lot of similarities.I am just starting with wire work in my jewelry projects so this was a good set for me, as a beginner. I can try a few techniques and have different colors available for following patterns. I did mostly buy it to practice with and I am certainly not at the stage where I would sell jewelry or give gifts I made to people, so do keep that in mind as you read this review. (This is probably not what you would want if you were a professional. But it is an economical choice for someone who is still learning.)This is coated so you may have trouble with the color flaking off. I have mostly been using it with a coiling gizmo and a bracelet jig, so I haven't had this issue yet since the work I have done is primarily by hand. If you are going to be using pliers a lot, I'd recommend ones with nylon jaws or a nylon coating as this should be gentler on the wire (you can buy lots of such pliers on Amazon).I got twelve different colors; some are similar but, to my eye, they are not exactly the same. I bought these same packages in other gauges to use with other wire working tools and the colors match across "buy-the-dozen" sets so if you want to use multiple gauges of wire in coordinating colors, that would be possible. (This is not necessarily obvious from the official product image.) I do feel the gauge (24) listed on the package is accurate, and this is easy to cut with my flush cutters or a regular wire cutter. There are 5 yards of wire on each spool. It's enough to try a few things with, anyway.Overall, this is a nice, inexpensive set to practice with. If you make jewelry with it, do try to avoid getting it wet or sweaty, as that should help preserve the finish for longer. Also avoid harsh abrasives during cleaning. (I would have higher standards for something pricier, but at around sixteen bucks, I am just fine with the quality.)
