Jewelry Wire cutters also called "Flush Cutters" are important to begin with when making jewelry made of wire. Some starters actually use scissors since it can actually cut thin wires but actually it can damage the scissors after a while. Typical wire cutters are available in hardware stores and hobby stores. A decent pair of wire cutters is what's really needed if you want best results. Flush cutters are uniquely designed for working on wire piece jewelries.
The Jewelry Wire Cutters come in 2 types:
The side cutters- it's an all around cutter that you can use while making the wire jewelry. It is extremely sharp so be very careful when using them. One wrong cut and it can ruin the piece that you started.
Top Cutter - is used for trimming excess wires. It's also sharp but is designed to be used at snipping wires with less risk of cutting or leaving unlikable marks on your piece.
The cutters are necessary to create the finest jewelry piece you can make. In using cutters, carefully use with the flat side perpendicular to the wire then the sharp edge can cut with precision. The flat side of the cutter will leave a flat end while the beveled side will leave a sharp end.
Some tips in using Jewelry wire cutters
As you cut the wire, always hold both ends. Wear safety glasses; you'll never know that a small wire may hard your eye.
If you were to cut a wire from a coil/ spool make sure to have one flat end and one sharp end. Through it, you are less likely to be hurt while working on the piece.
Keep the cutters away from children reach and do not teach children how to make jewelries.
Be it sterling silver, gold-filled, gold, brass or copper wire, there is no hassle in cutting using the Jewelry wire cutter.
