Solid Sterling Silver .925 Full-Bead Wire, Dead-Soft (14 Gauge)

This dead-soft, sterling silver full-bead wire offers a rugged beaded appearance and is able to withstand more metal forming tasks. The rugged look is created by the beads themselves varying from fully rounded to slightly flattened or somewhat squared-off. The slenderness of the wire between beads makes this wire suitable only for applications that do not subject the wire to ongoing stress; we suggest annealing this bead wire frequently. Dead soft wire is easy to bend, and can be shaped, looped, or braided with ease. This full-bead wire is not hardened, making it easier to manipulate, but it is not suitable for hardening or hammering. It will maintain its shape well when bent. This particular bead wire is tarnish resistant, but we recommend finishing all wire components to preserve the shine.
