This is 935 sterling silver wire with a patterned surface, sold in 6-inch lengths for jewelry work. It is made for rings, bracelets, earrings and bezels that frame gemstones. Its main draw is that it can be fired in place once depletion gilded, so it works with silver clay and enamel-adjacent projects where plain wire would not survive the kiln. Compared with ordinary sterling wire, it asks for extra prep work but opens up fired-in-place settings.

This patterned wire is made of 935 sterling silver. It can be used to make rings, bracelets, earrings and more. It can also be used to make bezels that frame gemstones and other objects.
The wire can be fired in place after it has been depletion gilded. Depletion gilding brings up a skin of fine silver on the surface by oxidizing the copper near the surface and then dissolving it.
To depletion gild, heat the sterling silver with a torch or in a kiln until it turns dark charcoal gray. Then soak it in Silver Prep until the surface appears white. Repeat until heat no longer darkens the metal. Small items such as wires usually need 2 rounds, and larger pieces may need 3 or 4.
