Sterling Silver Round Twist-Pattern Wire, Soft

This dead-soft, sterling silver twist-pattern wire offers a decorative two-strand, rope-like look that is ideal for a variety of applications such as creating bangles, jump rings, attach rings and more. It performs exceptionally well when you need to bend the wire around corners and along curves. This wire is created by patterning round wire to give it a twisted appearance. Dead soft wire is easy to bend, shape and hammer; it is an ideal starting point for forming, shaping and wire-wrapping. Keep in mind that hardness is changeable (by annealing or heat-hardening) and is relative among metal types (each temper will feel and handle differently from one metal to another). When finishing your pieces, also keep in mind that the harder the metal is, the brighter a finish it will take. 12-gauge wire is useful for rings, neck collars and for cuff and bangle bracelets. As you know, jewelry wire has as many uses as there are jewelers and designers who use it to achieve their vision; these suggested uses simply represent some of the more common applications of this metal weight. This wire is packaged in coils and can be cut to any length that satisfies the system minimum. Orders must weigh at least 0.01 ozt.; if you click 'Add to Cart' for a quantity less than this, the cart will offer a prompt to let you know what the minimum for this item is. Manufactured to exacting quality standards in our solar-powered facility.
