    I have been using this product for 3 years now and am very impressed with it. In fact, I prefer it over sterling wire, because it WILL NOT TARNISH. You must take care while working with the wire so you don’t scratch off the clear finish. Use NYLON-JAW pliers while working with this wire or coat your metal tools with a rubberized finish, to prevent damaging the finish.
    You can gently hammer this wire without damaging the coating, so you aren’t stuck with just a round wire look.
    If you take care you will get a beautifully bright silver wire piece that will never need polishing. GO FOR IT!

    This wire is very popular for wire wrapping because it is easy to work with, doesn’t tarnish, and looks beautiful. Would definitely recommend if you want a high end look at a very reasonable price.

    This stuff is AWESOME! It has a nice sheen, it’s easy to use, and I made a lot of ear cuffs and pendants with it! LOVE IT!!! And it’s the best price I’ve been able to find anywhere.
