sanded a small section clean and hammered it flat so it would fill the XRF field of vision. After I got my cleaning technique down pat, it is definitely sterling.
really great for wire wrapping its easy to use and easy to bend but not so easy that it looses it shape unless you want it to. I bought this to wrap a piece of laramar and it turned out beautifully and I have worn it for years now and have had to problem with the metal it hasn't changed colors or even turned my skin green so I feel like its true sterling silver and great for wire wrapping!!
This company can be trusted to provide exactly what you order. I was very leary buying my Sterling Silver, Argentium Silver & Fine Silver Wire From Amazon. It’s a trust thing & I’d purchased supplies from one craft co. since I began teaching myself to wire wrap. I finally decided to look elsewhere,hoping to find better prices. I’ve purchased several items from various company’s on Amazon and specifically Raw Treasures. They deliver every time. Quick shopping, REALLY good prices & quality product. I highly recommend them. I’m including a pic of a one of the wraps I’ve done using their wire.
Works great for nose rings! 😊 I've made at least a dozen and a few studs, and I've barely used any of the wire. I'm very sensitive to metals and can only wear sterling silver in my piercings. This was easy to use and very cost effective. I will be buying more soon. I've added a picture of one of the nose rings I made. This wire is perfect!
Neat stuff. Really easy to work with. You can shape it into just about anything. Works a lot better than a couple paper clips ;)

Description
This is twelve feet of sterling silver wire 24 gauge. 0.02" diameter, half hard temper; Made in USA
This Sterling Silver Wire has a nice luster and the 20 Gauge Round Half Hard wire is a good bending wire. The 5 Feet length is enough to make several necklaces and danglies for them. A nice product.
Sterling silver keeps getting more and more expensive, but I love using it in my jewelry since I'm allergic to many other, cheaper metals. Found this on Amazon, and it's cheaper here than some other jewelry sites.
Good quality wire. Relatively easy to work. i.e. it is typical half hard sterling, which isn't quite as easily worked for wire wrapping as some of the softer low tarnish wire. I tend to use it for the bezels and primary armature and use a dead soft wire for much of the finer detail work. Just a thought if you too sometimes find sterling a bit difficult.
I order this about once a month for my jewelry making. I solder with it and it heats great. The shine you get after using a standard silver polishing cloth is beautiful. For the past year, I haven't had any issues with shipping or noticing a different quality delivered. Always the same great product.
Just what I was expecting, and exactly what I wanted for some jewelry projects I was working on. A little thick for some wire rapping I wanted to do, but it could be made to work by someone with more experience and would be nice and sturdy in that capacity.
