Description
Draw, bend, coil and forge round wire at the bench without fighting firescale. Argentium Silver round wire is sold in 1-ounce coils and gives jewelers and metalsmiths an alternative to traditional sterling silver wire. Argentium Silver is a silver alloy carrying a small amount of germanium, which helps block oxygen from passing through the surface of the metal and thus cuts firescale and tarnish sharply. That makes it a strong choice for fine metalwork where clean, bright results matter.
Available from 16 gauge (1.30 mm) through 30 gauge (0.25 mm), this round wire is supplied in dead soft temper. Note that Argentium 930 Silver has been replaced by Argentium 940 Silver.
Features
- Firescale and tarnish resistant thanks to the germanium alloy content
- Dead soft temper for easy forming and manipulation
- Sold by the 1-ounce coil across a wide gauge range
- Round profile suitable for a broad range of metalsmithing applications
- Eight gauges, 16–30, with diameters from 1.30 mm down to 0.25 mm
- Transition from Argentium 930 to Argentium 940 underway, with most gauges already updated
