24Gauge Sterling Silver Jewelry wire (half hard, half round)

Plated, filled, coated and tarnish resistant findings/wires etc, are not made of precious metal and therefore will not last a lifetime. With proper care, use of plated tools (plastic or nylon jaw pliers while working/bending), prevention of exposure to chemicals (PH of perspiration, salon chemicals, ocean water etc), careful storage etc will assist with protecting these items from tarnishing, which will inevitably occur over time.
