Silver Wire 3,0 x 1,5mm, Half-Round, Soft, Sterling Silver 925

Description

High-Quality Soft Half-Round Wire for Elegant and Functional Jewellery Design

This 3.0 × 1.5mm half-round wire is made from solid sterling silver (925) and comes in a soft, malleable temper, making it ideal for a wide range of jewellery-making techniques. Its half-round profile—flat on one side and curved on the other—offers both strength and elegance, making it a popular choice for creating ring shanks, cuffs, wire-wrapped settings, and decorative bindings.

The soft temper allows for easy bending, shaping, forging, and soldering, without the need for annealing before use. Whether you’re creating structured forms or flowing designs, this wire responds well to tools and hand manipulation, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced metalsmiths.

Versatile Use for a Variety of Designs

The 3mm width provides visual impact and durability, while the 1.5mm thickness ensures strength without bulk. The flat back sits snugly against skin or other components, making it especially useful for:

• Ring bands and ring blanks
• Bracelets and cuffs
• Decorative wrap wire for bezels or settings
• Layered or multi-wire designs
• Traditional and modern silversmithing

Because of its form, half-round wire provides a clean, refined finish and sits flush when soldered to flat surfaces.

Soft Temper – Ready to Work

The soft (dead-soft) state of this wire means it can be:

• Easily coiled, wrapped, and bent by hand
• Forged or textured with hammers
• Soldered cleanly with standard silver solders
• Work-hardened later for added strength where needed

This makes it particularly well-suited for custom builds and experimental design where flexibility and adaptability are key.
