Sterling Silver (and Solder-Core Sterling) Sterling silver is an alloy of silver and copper (92.5% silver and 7.5% copper) that is the standard for most silver jewelry. I offer both plain sterling silver and solder-core sterling. The solder-core sterling has a thin thread of solder running through the center of the wire, meaning that if you want to solder your work you don't need to apply any external solder, just close the ring snugly and heat it. Flux is still helpful for minimizing firescale and helping the solder to flow. Sterling silver and solder-filled sterling rings can be combined for quantity discounts. If you order 5000 or more silver rings, you get 10% off all your silver rings. If you order 10,000 or more silver rings, you get 20% off all your silver rings.
	Gold Fill Gold fill wire is a 12K gold tube that's filled with brass. The total thickness of the gold is 1/20 the thickness of the wire - a sturdy layer that will not wear off the way that low-quality gold plating does. Gold fill rings also qualiify for quantity discounts. If you order 5000 or more gold fill rings, you get 10% off all your gold fill rings. If you order 10,000 or more gold fill rings, you get 20% off all your gold fill rings.
	Niobium Niobium is a metal with magical color properties. If you immerse it in a conductive bath and then run electricity through it, an oxide layer will form on the surface. Depending on the thickness of the oxide layer, different colors are reflected. There are no dyes involved. Magic! The same quantity discounts apply for niobium (10% and 20% off at 5000+ and 10,000+ rings) but instead of selling by the 1000 count, I offer niobium rings in batches of 250. I chose to batch them this way because there are so many colors and many people will want to use more than one color in the same piece.
