Artistic Wire is the best crafting wire around. The silver-plated copper is a great compromise between real (expensive) silver and craft wire that is just silver colored. The plating is bright and shiny, and best of all it stays that way since it's non-tarish wire. Amazon usually has it for a great price (second only to buying it wholesale, but I don't go through it enough to justify a bulk order). 18 gauge is great for sturdier projects and the bases of wire-wrapped bracelets, earrings, and necklace components. I even use it for ear wires although it is too big for most piercings, but I appreciate that the copper wire and silver plating are non-allergenic (no itchy ears like the standard nickel-plated ear wires!) Thanks for a great product with fast shipping - I will definitely buy again!
This is great wire that works up beautifully. It looks like sterling silver. I use nylon jaw pliers to protect the tarnish-resistant coating. I also dip my finished projects in varnish to keep them from tarnishing. You could also use nail polish on small items.
Although it is labeled "tarnish resistant", it will definitely tarnish if it rests against your skin for any period of time whatever. With all the hours of labor I put into my projects, I want to keep them looking great, so I dip them several times, building up layers of protection. If you choose to dip your pieces, be sure to break apart the links after each time you dip them else the build-up could become too heavy to break apart without showing.
I like this product. It is light weight and easy to use. Great for DIY Rings. I would recommend purchasing a wire straightener for easier handling.
