Arcor 16 Gauge Soft Copper Wire - 126 Feet, 1lb Spool (447629) Review

I am ordering 126 feet of 16 gram raw copper. What I got was more like a 14g despite the label saying 16 gauge. I use 16g of copper almost every day to make wire jewelry and have run out of the regular wire I usually use. So I was very disappointed to receive a slightly thicker caliber than what I ordered. However, it is good copper wire. Just not what I wanted or ordered and I don't like the label.

I ordered this because I am starting a copper jewelry business which will double the health benefits. This tarnishes extremely easily and proves that it is actually "bare" copper wire. That's exactly what I need. If you want to make really pretty, shiny copper jewelry, this isn't it. The caliber appears to be consistent so far, but it's a whole pound of copper, so it'll take some time to work it all out.

EDIT TO ADD: After contacting Revain, they were quick to respond by crediting my account a reasonable amount for the shortfall. I appreciate the excellent customer service! I've edited my review to reflect this. As a national level wire jewelry instructor, I buy a lot of wire, miles actually, every year. I didn't have enough before the big practice show so I ordered a 1lb spool of 16 gauge wire to bide my time. The package arrived lightly so I weighed it before using it. It weighed 15.1 ounces…
