I personally love this gauge wire. I make silver bangles, heavy chain links, groovy toggle clasps, hammered silver rings. You can use this wire to make rings shanks (the part that goes around the finger). Neck rings can be made from this. It has quite a vast number of uses. In dead soft, it is still very stiff. Have strong pliers to work with this gauge. My PowerPaw pliers are perfect for the job. Sold by the Foot. 14 gauge dead soft sterling silver round wire.
