Sterling Silver (92.5% Silver)

Sterling Silver is  an alloy of 92.5% Silver and usually 7.5% copper.  It is an alloy invented several hundred years ago. It tarnishes and can develop fire-scale when soldered.  A man who studies metals decided it was time to make a better silver alloy.  The result is Argentium Silver, a new modern alloy containing 94% silver and a small amount of germanium, which changes the alloy into an amazing product.
When an alternative is available in Argentium, we plan to phase out our stocks of Sterling unless we get a lot of requests for it.  Argentium Silver is a little higher in price, but has so many better features.

NOTES -
1.  GST is INCLUDED in all prices.
2.  For you to be able to order in fractions of a metre, we have to price the wires by the centimetre and orders have to be in centimetres.  If you order 1.5 metres of a wire (150cm), the shopping cart will show you have 150 items in your cart. You will find this surprising and weird, but, sorry, this is the way this shopping cart works.
3.  Postage on these products starts at $3.60.  Most orders should send for less than $12.00.
