Sterling Silver 12 gauge thick 4mm wide Half Round Wire

4mm 12 gauge Half Round Sterling Silver Wire.  Dead Soft.  Sold by the inch. Great for making finger ring bands. Half round wire is also used for connecting square wire.  The flat side is placed against the square wire, and the rounded side remains exposed to the finished design.  12 gauge wire is popular for rings, neck collars, and bangle bracelets.  This may require heavy-duty wire cutters such as our X475.  You can use a heavy duty file such as the XJ1051 or XJ1077 and go back to finish with a needle nose file. 

“Dead soft” wire means that the metal offers little or no resistance – it’s very pliable.  It does not form hard angles or sharp bends.  It is great for forming spirals and soft bends, as long as they can be work hardened.
