Our take on the Fine Silver Round Wire 1 Ounce Coils-16 to 30 Gauge

Fine silver round wire at .999 purity, sold in 1 ounce coils in eight gauges from 16 to 30. It is very soft and forms easily, so it suits jump rings, bezels, prongs, granulation and wrapped findings. Unlike sterling or argentium, it cannot be heat hardened, but it resists tarnish far better. Buyers choose gauge by the job: 16 and 18 for structure, 22 to 30 for fine wrapping and granulation.

Questions and answers

What is the difference between fine silver and sterling silver wire?
Fine silver is .999 pure; sterling is 92.5% silver alloyed with copper. Fine silver is softer and tarnishes less, but sterling can be heat hardened and holds up better to wear.
Which gauge should I pick?
16 and 18 gauge suit structural pieces and heavier jump rings. 20 and 22 gauge cover most general findings. 24 to 30 gauge is for fine wrapping, granulation and delicate work.
How much wire is in a coil?
Each coil weighs one ounce. Length depends on gauge: roughly 7.5 ft at 16 gauge down to much longer runs at 30 gauge, since thinner wire packs more length per ounce.
Can I harden this wire with heat?
No. Fine silver cannot be heat hardened the way sterling or argentium can. Work hardening by bending and drawing is the only way to stiffen it.
Will it tarnish?
It tarnishes far more slowly than sterling silver, but no silver is fully tarnish-proof. Storage in a sealed bag with a tarnish strip helps.
Is it safe for piercings?
It is jewelry quality, not medical grade. For fresh piercings, use material rated for that purpose.
