Uses & Benefits

24 gauge is the sweet spot for most wire work: sturdy enough for wrapped loops and links, fine enough for weaving and delicate detail. The copper core keeps it wonderfully malleable, and the coating protects the colour against wear and tarnish.

FAQs

Is it real silver? It's silver plated copper — a bright, durable silver finish over a malleable copper core, at a fraction of solid silver's cost.

What's the difference between Silver and Tarnish Resistant Silver? Tarnish Resistant Silver carries an extra protective coating that slows oxidation — the pick for pieces you want to stay bright.

Is 24 gauge right for me? 24GA is the versatile middle ground: great for wrapping and weaving. Go thicker (18–20GA) for structures, finer (26GA+) for delicate work.
