Thanks for pitching in, Hutch.

So argentium has pretty much all the positive qualities of sterling, and then some…

We carry argentium wire in dead soft and half hard tempers, just as we do with original sterling wire. There is little difference with working the two versions in the same size/temper.

Hi SusanSW, the info I have is that Argentium wire is easy to manipulate–apparently comparable to sterling in this respect too.

Any craft jewelers here have experiences of Argentium wire to share here?

Is Argentium difficult to manipulate? i.e., is it similar to sterling silver; harder than dead soft; etc.? Thanks.
