14K Yellow Gold 1.57mm Tubing, 1/2-Hard

This 1/2-hard, 14-karat yellow gold tubing is ideal for a wide range of fabrication tasks. Use it to create hinges or spring bars for movable component parts, create linings for bead holes (to protect both the bead and the cord), create eyelets or rivets for cold connections, or create spring bars for custom watch bands. Metal that is 1/2-hard is partially work-hardened and will hold its shape under some stress; ideal for forming structures that will support other components. To avoid annealing, use this material only after soldering processes. 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. This tubing is available in 12" lengths; due to the cutting capabilities of the saw, minimum purchase is 1". All cuts are handmade.
