Should I Choose Pure Silver Wire or Sterling Silver Wire?
Sterling silver wire is extremely versatile in jewelry crafting. You can use it for wire wrapping, soldering, the main jewelry structure, or custom jewelry findings such as ear wires, fasteners, jump rings, and clasps. The gauge and temper of a silver wire product will play key roles in what it is best used for.
Most of our silver wire has a soft temper, making it extremely versatile and ideal for techniques such as chain making, soldering, and creating custom jewelry findings. Sterling silver wire is extremely useful for a variety of tasks and is one of the most commonly used mill products that jewelry creators and hobbyists use. Despite being so workable, silver wire remains strong after use, making sure that jewelry pieces will endure years of wear and tear.
We also offer round sterling silver wire available in hard or extra hard tempers, ideal for main jewelry assembly or components that must withstand higher levels of pressure, force, or heat. Most jewelry crafters use sterling silver wire for creating jewelry such as chains, bracelets, and earrings.
Pure silver - or fine silver - consists of 99.9% silver and is softer and more resistant to tarnish than sterling silver wire. Pure silver wire is perfect for wire wrapping or jewelry finishing touches.
Silver remains one of the most popular materials for fine jewelry. Its price relative to gold makes it an accessibly priced choice for jewelers looking to create exciting new designs without using more expensive materials like gold or platinum. High-purity silver is also hypoallergenic, making it ideal for jewelry for sensitive skin.
Silver naturally tarnishes and may require regular maintenance and cleaning. To prevent tarnishing, it is important to store sterling silver in a sealed container. Regular cleaning of sterling silver jewelry will help prevent tarnishing and remove dark or dull spots that appear over time. Tarnishing is caused by air exposure and by interaction with acids in our skin.
