This dead-soft sterling silver round wire is indispensable in jewelry making, serving as a foundational material for creating components and executing a wide range of techniques. Its pliability makes it effortless to bend, shape, and hammer, making it an excellent choice for starting forms, contours, and wire-wrapping. It's important to note that the hardness of the wire can be adjusted through annealing or heat-hardening, and this characteristic varies among different types of metals, affecting how each metal feels and responds to manipulation. When finishing your pieces, keep in mind that metals with higher hardness levels tend to achieve a more brilliant finish.

Specifically, 20-gauge wire is a versatile choice for various applications such as head pins, jump rings, cuff and wire bracelets, neck wires, ear wires, earring posts, and rivets. Jewelry wire finds numerous uses among jewelers and designers who use it to realize their creative visions. These suggested applications illustrate some of the common ways this gauge of metal weight is employed in jewelry making.
