.925
Sterling silver Wire:
Our sterling wire is shipped dead soft unless otherwise
specified. It contains 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% copper
alloyed for strength. We stock round wire from gauges 12 (thick)
to 30 (very thin).
.999 Fine Silver:
Fine silver is pure silver. We could not make most
of our beading projects without this excellent time saver.
Fine silver when torched will ball up to make the perfect
headpin without any clean up. The wire stays shiny in the
flame and is ready to use. Check out the Crystal Shaker project
to see it in action.
14kt Gold Filled:
There is much confusion regarding gold filled. 14kt
gold fill is made by preparing a sheet of 14kt gold and electrochemically
bonding it to a base metal. Gold Filled wire has a very thick
layer of gold. It is considered "lifetime" meaning
it will not wear off or polish off during it useful life.
People with metal allergies that can wear 14kt gold can wear
14kt gold filled. It is beautiful and much less expensive
Jewelry Wire:
If you are looking for a durable solution that is
less expensive, we carry a line of German made plated wire.
We offer Silver plate over a copper core, gold plate over
a copper core, and solid copper. The silver and gold have
a beautiful shine and perfect for home decore items. Available
in 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 26 gauges.
