22K Yellow Gold Sheet, 22-Ga., 1/4-Hard

This 1/4-hard, 22-karat yellow gold sheet offers the benefit of having high-karat fabrication metal ready when you need it; keep sheet on hand and custom-cut it to the exact size and shape your design requires. (And collect all your scraps—you'll help recycle precious metals and collect cash for your efforts.) 1/4-hard sheet is a bit resistant to bending but readily takes shape. Keep in mind that hardness is changeable by annealing, heat-hardening or work-hardening. When finishing your pieces, also keep in mind that the harder the metal is, the brighter a finish it will take. This sheet features a bright shiny finish.22-gauge sheet is useful for back plates that extend beyond the bezel wall and/or will have texture or embellishments applied; also great for creating earring or pendant components. As you know, metal sheet 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 yellow gold sheet can be ordered in sizes up to 6" x 6" (larger dimensions can be special ordered); due to the cutting capabilities of the shear, minimum purchase is 1" x 1/2".Ideal for high-end designs and for pieces that are not exposed to a great deal of daily wear and tear, high-karat gold materials are highly workable and deliver a signature deep-yellow color to designs.
