Artistic Wire's pearl silver is a 20 gauge craft wire with a soft, pearly white-silver finish, sold as a 25 ft spool. The tarnish-resistant coating keeps the pearl look from dulling, which matters for bracelets and necklaces that rub against skin and clothing. At 20 gauge it is firm enough to hold wraps, loops and pendant bails but still bends by hand with pliers, so it sits between thin 24-26 gauge weaving wire and heavy 16-18 gauge structural wire. It suits jewelry makers who want a decorative, non-metallic look in strung and wrapped pieces rather than a bright mirror silver.
