Description
Made with certified recycled precious metal. Our silver, gold and platinum is refined from certified recycled content rather than newly mined ore, through refiners audited by outside parties.
How we source our metal
Wrap stones, weave frames, and coil decorative accents at the bench with a wire that bends by hand and keeps a smooth, flowing line. This is dead soft sterling silver round wire, an alloy of .925 silver and .075 copper, sold in one ounce units in six gauges across 18–28 AWG (0.30–1.00 mm, or 0.012"–0.040"). It is made in the USA from 100% recycled precious metal reclaimed from non-mined sources including jewelry, silverware, coins, and dental scrap.
Features
- Dead soft temper allows tight bends, spirals, and wraps with minimal resistance during forming.
- Ideal for wire wrapping, weaving, and surface embellishment over stronger core structures.
- Round profile integrates cleanly with common jewelry findings, jump rings, and chain designs.
- Supplied as continuous wire so you can cut exact lengths for each project with minimal waste.
- Fine, clean surface accepts standard jewelry soldering, texturing, and finishing processes.
- Six gauge options so you can match the wire diameter to your wrapping or weaving style.

Notes
- Dead soft sterling silver wire is highly malleable and will not hold a shape under stress, so it suits wrapping, weaving, and decorative work rather than structural elements.
- Higher gauge numbers indicate thinner wire diameters.
- Finer sizes are supplied on plastic spools to aid dispensing and help prevent kinks and tangles at the bench.
