This Artistic Wire is made by first plating the copper wire with a precision layer of pure silver. Then a carefully applied unique enamel color and tarnish resistant coating on top of the silver plating. The silver plating beneath the color adds an incredible high-shine and brilliance to the wire. Because of it's softness and flexibility, this wire is great for Beading and Wire Wrapping Projects.This Artistic Wire is made by first plating the copper wire with a precision layer of pure silverThen a carefully applied enamel color and tarnish resistant coating on top of the silver platingThe silver plating beneath the color adds an incredible high-shine and brilliance to the wireBecause of it's softness and flexibility, this wire is great for Beading and Wire Wrapping Projects.
