Full Silver
What does Dead soft, Half-hard and Full hard mean when talking about sterling silver wire?
It has to do with the creation of the wire and its application, not what is in the wire. Sterling wire is sterling wire, it's always 92.5% silver.
Dead-soft is best for where a flexibility is needed. This wire is great for wrapped loops or wire crochet. It's very easy to work with without tools.
Half-hard is the most commonly used. It's got more stability than the dead-soft, so it stays put after you create with it. It's great for wire working because it often holds shape really well, but is soft enough to allow you to work without tools in some applications. It's hardness comes from being pulled through a draw plate that compresses it.
Full-hard is very stiff, great for headpins or other uses where flexibility isn't very important. The more you work with it, the more likely it is this wire will break, so it's great for applications where little movement and a great deal of stabilty is needed. It's harder than the others because it's been sent through the draw plate an additional time than the half-hard wire.
