German-Style Plated Wire

Silver-plated wire gives you the look of sterling silver wire without the cost. Created by covering a copper core with a thick plating of silver, this German-style jewelry wire works great for wire wrapping and lashing projects that do not require heavy working of the wire (overworking plated or colored wire can cause the plating to crack). Choose from 18 gauge (thick) to 26 gauge (thin) round wire in both silver plate and gold color, plus square and half-round wire in silver plate, for a wide variety of wire banding, jewelry-making and general wire craft applications.
