‘Metallic Colors’ combine the rich look and brilliant shine of gold and silver with the dramatic flexibility and softness of 19 Strand. ‘Silver Color’ is a value-priced Silver Plated wire. It is comprised of a blend of tarnish-resistant metals with an actual precious Silver Plating. ‘Gold Color’ is made of a mix of tarnish-resistant metals to mimic the appearance of 18k Gold. These mixed-metal wires have slightly lower breaking strengths than other Beadalon 19 Strand stainless steel wires. Use the Metallic Color wires with silver and gold plated findings to render the shimmer and shine of fine jewelry. Made in USA by Beadalon.
