So, noobie question about wire...is the Nickel Silver wire the same as Silver Filled? Or is it an actual Nickel and Silver compound made into a wire?
I'm not to the point of wanting to use Sterling Silver in my wraps as I don't think they deserve that kind of investment. So, I've gotten the Silver Filled rather than the Sterling up to this point. If the Nickel Silver is the same as Silver Filled, it might be worth it - or if it's not, is it an acceptable substitute?

It is sometimes also called German silver, but it is just a silver looking alloy of nickel and something- I forget what. I only used it once and it was pretty hard. I wouldn't use it. A lot of people have nickel allergies and can't wear it. |
