This is sterling silver 10 gauge droplet wire. This heavier wire offers a few choices as to your creative options. Makes a lovely bangle, rings, ear hoops and accent to any silver jewelry project. A completely new affect can be had with some light hammering with a smooth face hammer and steel block. Plus you always have the option to oxidize this wire and burnishing lightly with super fine steel wool to expose the brighter high points. 

This is sold by the foot.
