I picked some up at WalMart in the craft section.  I think they had brass and stainless.  About $5.00 a roll.

If you're thinking of doing inlays like this:

The wire isn't actually round.  It's called bezel wire and is available from jewelry supply stores.  It's a tedious process, but comes out looking good.
I tried doing it with round wire and it really doesn't work very well.

In some of the books I've read you can use silver solder for inlay and as far as copper wire do you have any scrap electrical wire laying around?
