This is .999 fine silver wire in a dead soft temper. It is easy to manipulate and can be work hardened by stretching, twisting, rolling, hammering, tumbling and similar methods. It cannot be heat hardened. It is made in the USA.
Fine silver wire can be co-fired in silver clay with no preparation: embed the wire and fire. When embedding, rough up the end that goes into the clay with sandpaper. As the clay shrinks, it then has something to grip and hold.
The wire is sold in 1 foot lengths.
