Hello!  I went to your anniversary sale a while back and bought 3 gauge sterling silver wire (it was in a bin with other "etc." items...).  I was really surprised since I knew you didn't regularly have that large of wire.  Will you be getting more in or was that an accident?  oh I already used it all up.  Tongue Thanks!

3 gauge is not something we normally carry. That's a huge wire for jewelry work, about 5mm or 1/4 of an inch in diameter. I'll have to ask the wire buyer if we had it for some special purpose or special order.

My bad, I forgot to mention it was half round, low dome wire.  I used it for ring making.  oops

AH.....  low dome, big difference.

Because of very slow sales, we no longer stock the #3, #4 and #5 low dome (our stock #'s 64-563, 64-564 and 64-565) but we could special order them. The price, of course, would not be the price you paid from the closeout bin since silver has gone way up!.

We used to carry more of the low dome, crazy 8 and patterned wires starting back when we made our own line of ear cuffs. Then we both sold the raw stock and used them for our production.

Off hand I don't know the minimum quantity for the special order but you can give us a  call and the silver buyer can fill in the details.

Your price at today's market is $36.25 per ozt.
Thank you.
