About The Wire
The artists at Expressions In Gold, Ltd. use the finest quality of 14kt Rolled Gold Wire or Sterling Silver wire in all our jewelry creations.
What is 14kt Rolled Gold Wire?
14/20 rolled gold wire or 1/20 Rolled gold wire has 100 times more gold in it than gold plate, and is usually considered to be a lifetime investment in jewelry. Rolled gold wire is made by taking a sheet of 14kt Gold and bonding it through extreme heat and pressure to a core of semiprecious Jewelers Brass. The end result is a 14kt gold tube that totally encases the Jewelers Brass. This is a highly sophisticated process and there are only a few mills in the world that do this. We end up with a product that is strong, durable and resistant to tarnish, with the added bonus of the added strength supplied by the Jewelers Brass.
We also create jewelry in 14 and 18 kt gold wire at, however, a substantially higher cost. E-mail us for additional information.
Sterling silver can be used in the creation of most of the designs featured on this web site.
Fine silver is a very soft product which has a soft silver color very similar to platinum. Because it is so soft, it can be used only is a limited number of settings. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have on this subject.
We here at Expressions in Gold, Ltd., feel that in using these products in our designs, we are creating tomorrow’s heirlooms today.
