Daily Wire Jewelry Making Tip November 20, 2009

Question:

Does gold filled wire come in 18kt? If yes, can you recommend where this can be purchased?

Answer:

After doing some extensive research, the only 18kt gold-filled wire source I found would have you custom order it, prepaid, from a company in Taiwan (pricey). Unfortunately there is no supply source in North America or Europe. I`m sorry I can`t be of more assistance with this one.

    Why? 18K is so soft that it is unusable. 14k is every bit as pretty, and is affordable!
