Silver is one of the most precious and beautiful jewelry making metals. Silver wire is used to design mainstream jewelry such as bracelets, necklaces, pendants, rings, earrings, ear wires, bangles, anklets, nose pin etc. It is easy to mold and work with, if you have some basic knowledge of jewelry making. These wires are available variety of diameter with different melting points, hardness and shapes. Craft wire is a soft copper wire with colored coating, usually silver. It is popularly known as Artistic wire.

The silver craft wires with large diameter are lightly hammered to induce hardness and design hammered sterling silver jewelry. Sometimes hammering results in cracks in the silver coating and heat melted the wire. These wires don't require any polishing and available in various vibrant colors. Generally, sterling silver wire has 92.5 percent of pure silver and 7.5 percent of copper or other metal. The pure sterling silver wire is very soft to create fine designs and wear on regular basis. It is measured in pounds, inches, ounce and foot.

The diameters of wires are measured in millimeters or gauge through a tool having round metal disk with circles and slots around the edges. The hardness of silver wire can be defined in three ways, the dead soft, half hard and full hard. Dead soft silver wires are very easy to mold and design jewelry. However, the extra softness doesn't allow it to retain the shape and make right angle bend. These wires are weaved so closely to strengthen their hardness and durability. The Half hard silver wires are relatively less malleable, than dead soft. It retains the shape and bears some tension. These can hold sharp bends.

The full hard silver wires are the most durable one that can hold shape and used to create clasps. These tempers are gone through hardening and hammering process to create beautiful silver hammered jewelry. Hammering gives fine finishing to the designs and harden the wire as well. If the wire gets harder to work with, then heating is performed. It is also called as annealing. Silver soldering or melting is one of the most important part of silver jewelry making. It forms a strong and permanent bond between two different parts of silver wire without melting them completely.
