When you want to create super smooth, silver balls (for decorative elements), fine silver is the obvious choice! Amazing tip @jessicajo_designs -“I always have 20g fine silver wire on hand... then I can just measure and cut so I can create evenly sized balls and they melt down beautifully!” 🤯👩‍🏭🙏🏻😘 thank you for this image comparing fine silver on the left and sterling silver on the right. I don’t do many decorative balls in my own work and I was straight up unaware of this! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytipoftheday #soldering #jewelrymaking #instasmithy #ladysmith
