Silver Filled Jewelry Wire, Square, 18ga, Dead Soft
Tips for Using Sterling Silver Wire, Gold-Filled Wire, and Precious Metal Sheet - To keep track of your different materials of wire and sheet, mark each material with a different color of permanent marker. (Sharpies work great.)
- Any writing on wire or sheet is easily removed with acetone or fingernail polish remover.
- To prevent pliers from marring delicate, expensive materials such as sterling silver wire, fine silver wire, and gold-filled wire: wrap a bit of tape around serrated pliers so the serrations don't scrape or mar your wire. Nylon jaw pliers are also very convenient to use, and Tool Magic anti-scratch coating is a staff favorite!
- With all wire gauges: the larger the gauge, the smaller (thinner) the wire diameter.
- New to working with wire? See Wire Jewelry 101 in the Related Products tab for more information about gauges, hardness, and what size of wire is best for which types of jewelry projects.

Avg Rating: 10 /10
18-gauge square silver filled wire. Dead soft (not tempered), easy to manipulate. There are approximately 11.40 feet per ounce of 18ga 1/10 silver filled wire. A great alternative to sterling silver. Silver fill is a layer of 0.925 or greater silver which is mechanically bonded to a brass core. It is 100's of times thicker than any silver plating. 1/10th silver-filled items are at least 1/10th silver by weight. We normally pre-cut our wire to 1-oz lengths, so if you need wire in one piece longer than one ounce, it may need to be special ordered.
