How different is the brass to use, as opposed to 20 or 22 ga square sterling silver? (Nice stones, too!)

That's a great group there!

That's a loaded question Jean. Dead soft sterling seems easier to hammer out but harder to file and sand. Half hard I never used.

You know that whole designation for silver being catergorized as half hard just hits me the wrong way...
