Argentium® Silver Half-Round Wire

Made with a touch of Germanium, this dead-soft Argentium® Silver half-round wire is highly resistant to firescale and less likely to tarnish than sterling. It's fusible and it also solders beautifully. (When soldering or fusing use Ronda Coryell's Purple Flux for less bubbling.) Dead-soft wire is easy to bend, shape and hammer. Keep in mind that hardness is changeable by annealing, heat-hardening or work-hardening. The wire is packaged in coils. Available in custom cuts of any length, with a minimum weight of 0.01 ozt. If you click 'Add to Cart' for a quantity less than this, a prompt will prevent you from ordering. Working with Argentium is a bit different than working with traditional sterling.
