Available in round, square, and half-round, our anti-tarnish wire comes in both dead soft and half-hard tempers. Create beautiful wire jewelry that your customers will cherish with our Argentium® sterling silver wire.

Silver is a naturally occurring precious metal with an almost-white sheen, commonly used in jewelry making. Traditional sterling silver is composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. However, WireJewelry's Argentium® sterling silver wire, developed by Peter Johns for Argentium® Silver Co. Ltd. in the United Kingdom, replaces some of the copper with germanium. By definition, Argentium® sterling silver never contains less than 93% pure silver. The addition of germanium enhances tarnish resistance, creating a high-quality silver wire your customers will love to wear!
