I decided to experiment with copper wire, as I thought it would be a nice accent for some of my turquoise/coppery glass pieces. I was able to find square copper wire at Brandy Wine Jewelry Supply, so here is a set of earrings that will be headed to Coyote Creek this Saturday. I used the copper wire on a couple of pendants too.I think it creates the nice warm effect I was going for. Right now I don't enjoy wire wrapping with copper as much as I do the Argentium silver wire...it's a feel thing for me. I think I'll continue to use it as the glass dictates and hopefully I'll become more comfortable with the sensation I get using copper wire.
I call this pair, "Copper Spells".

Oh yes definitely! The copper works perfectly with these. Gives a totally different feel to the silver. I like the flatness of the wire too. These are simply gorgeous!

You are right about that, the copper looks wonderful with the turquoise. I love the color combination. Copper seems to be very popular right now, I like it!!!
These are beautiful! The copper wire really brings out the copper color in the glass. Thanks for the link to Brandywine also - I had never heard of that one.
