WTB - twisted silver wire

[SVanderkolff]

Can anyone tell me a good supplier of twisted silver wire to be used on a fluter dagger. Or if someone has some they would like to sell I would be interested.
Thanks
Steve

Rio Grande is a pretty comprehensive jeweler supplier with a decent website.

We (wife and I are jewelers) order from them all the time. However since they are a wholesaler you will need to set up an account with them. As long as you are a manufacturer you should not have a problem. They do not have crazy minimum order requirements or anything like that.

Hope this helps.

Thanks all
I placed my order with Rio Grande. Easy process and no hassle about shipping to Canada.

Steve, you may also find LacyTools to be a good resource for materials and equipment!

Steve it sounds like it might be too late for this to help you but buying single wire and twisting it yourself results in a much better looking product than buying what is sold as twisted wire these days but is some form of casting, at least the stuff I have seen

Thanks
I will take a good look at what comes in ad see if I would be better off twisting my own.
