Sterling Silver Round Wire - Half Hard - Sold in 12" Lengths

Sterling silver half hard round wire crafted from certified conflict-free .925 silver, sourced from North American suppliers. Most of this silver is refined from recycled U.S. precious metals, ensuring both consistent quality and ethical sourcing. Sold in convenient 12-inch (305 mm) pre-cut lengths, these wires are ready to use for a wide range of jewelry making and metalsmithing applications. Also available in one-ounce coils for larger projects or continuous runs.

Half hard temper strikes the ideal balance between rigidity and workability — firm enough to hold its shape under stress, yet still workable with standard hand tools. It is the go-to choice for ear wires, jump rings, findings, and structural wirework.

Notes

Wire gauge and diameter are inversely related — the higher the gauge number, the thinner the wire. For example, 18 gauge (1.00 mm) is thinner than 16 gauge (1.30 mm). One-ounce coils of this wire are sold separately for higher-volume use.
