This dead-soft sterling silver round wire, essential in jewelry making, serves as a versatile material for creating components and employing a wide array of techniques. Its pliability makes it easy to bend, shape, and hammer, making it an excellent starting point for forming, shaping, and wire-wrapping. Remember, the hardness of the wire can be adjusted through annealing or heat-hardening, and this characteristic varies among different metals, influencing how they feel and handle. When finishing your pieces, consider that harder metals achieve a more polished finish.
