Description
This dead-soft reticulation silver (80/20) sheet offers the benefit of having fabrication metal on hand when you need it; custom-cut it to the exact size and shape your design requires. Dead-soft sheet is easy to bend, shape and hammer; it is an ideal starting point for forming, shaping and wire-wrapping. Keep in mind that hardness is changeable (by annealing or heat-hardening) and is relative among metal types (each temper will feel and handle differently from one metal to another). When finishing your pieces, also keep in mind that the harder the metal is, the brighter a finish it will take.
Order in sizes up to 4" x 36" (one dimension must be 4"); due to the cutting capabilities of the shear, minimum purchase is 4" x 1/4".
Reticulation silver is alloyed with a bit less silver and a bit more copper (80/20) than traditional sterling silver, making it ideal for reticulation.

• Be sure to ask for our tech sheet on reticulation when you order.
• We strive to measure quantities ordered as closely as possible; however, due to manufacturing tolerances at the mill, please allow for a ±10% variance when ordering.
