This metal was used extensively in the 1800's and is very strong and durable. It is not "gold plate." It has 100 times the amount of gold than does gold plate. The process of making the wire is to create one 14 Kt tube with a semi-precious metal core. This gold metal composition is what enables me to create the swirls and curls used in my special designs. The gold wire I use is made to my own specifications, and each piece created carries a lifetime guarantee. What this means to you is this---if you accidentally break a piece of jewelry, I will repair or replace it for you at no charge. I will stand behind my jewelry 100% Few jewelers will give this guarantee!
This is normally used in the construction of sterling jewelry. It is beautiful and very economical. Silver with a fineness of 925 parts per 1000 (92.5%) silver and 75 parts per thousand (7.5%) copper, which increases the silver's hardness. Sterling is quite malleable and ductile.
