This was my first time using silver. Even though the silver had the same harsdness rating as the copper it seemed to be softer. Stu

The two were meant to go together! Awesome.... very nice wrap and stone.

Argentium is a little different to work with than sterling, but it has been my experience that if you are using soft silver and pure soft copper then copper is always softer. Were you using coated copper? Not important, really, just curious.
