If you think about it, you could put the most expensive components...gemstones, silver and crystals on any type of wire but in the end if it breaks, your expensive piece of jewelry is scattered all over the floor....never to be worn again.....I cannot stress how important it is to ask what wire handmade jewelry is made of. I use only the highest quality 49 strand, Teflon coated jewelry wire for all my pieces. I have been using the same brand since the beginning...it really is the best. It is water proof and rust proof. And it has a test strength of 26 lbs. You can rest assured that your jewelry will last a very long time from robin's pretties
