Silver prices hit a short term low day before yesterday. I've been watching and trying to pounce on the time to restock my sterling wire. It's been at least a couple years since I bought, and much as I wish and wait, those prices are never going to return.
Though I was lucky on other occasions to obtain some silver wire from super duper close outs, or hit a good deal at the LA jewelry mart and wholesale shows, the same opportunities haven't materialized lately.
And I'm running low on it.
So I took the plunge and got 10 feet from a well known jewelry supply that gives the best everyday price everyday (all the metalsmiths use them).
See, the price is not too many times more than what I paid some years ago:
Compare the last price ~ $23 / oz with two years before. About $23 / oz !!
Maybe I should have bought more?
Well, here's what I can do with 7"!

The ring is very pretty.
