There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It is definitely bright and shiney, and in my research I'd heard it has a slightly warm/yellow cast but I don't find that to be true. It feels completely different from non-coated wire - very slick. It's thicker at 22 gauge than a non-coated sterling silver, noticeably so in fact. I ordered a 26 gauge and may even order a 28 gauge as a comparable replacement to my 24 gauge sterling silver. The 22 gauge is what I would normally think of 20 gauge.
This is a soft wire - fantastic for wrapped/rosary/closed loops, but I hesitate to use it for open loops or eye pins unless it was in a light necklace or earrings, something that doesn't get tugged too often. I'll give it a try and update later, I just started playing with it tonight.
I'd heard from research as well that the copper is exposed when the wire is cut since this is a copper plated wire. I couldn't see it in the 22 gauge. Perhaps in an 18 or 16, something really thick. Otherwise it's pretty consistent with the silver color.
The only word of warning is that this wire can be scratched. I tend to work slowly and carefully so it's not an issue - the few scratches are not noticeable on the piece over all - but I've seen recommendations to get nylon covers for your tools. I would just recommend experimenting with it to see for yourself before spending the money on the nylon covers.
Definitely glad I purchased it and will be using it more frequently in the future.
