About Different Types of Wire
Nickel Silver
Nickel Silver is a metal alloy containing nickel, copper, and zinc. Although it is a silver colour, it does not contain silver. This rugged metal resists tarnishing. We also make nickel-free items.
Brass (Gold-Tone)
Brass is a metal alloy composed of copper and zinc. Although it is a gold colour, it does not contain gold. Brass wire rosaries will keep their original luster when they stay dry. Try storing it with a piece of chalk (non-toxic) or a silica gel pack. You can also store it with an eyeglass cleaning cloth to dry it if needed.
Bronze
Bronze is a metal alloy primarily made of copper. With age and exposure to air, it naturally darkens to rich, earthy tones. Our suppliers make bronze Crucifixes and center medals from vintage or discontinued pieces. We usually use connector bows made from wire or bows with a brass bead.
Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver is a metal alloy made with 92.5% silver (.925 sterling silver) and 7.5% copper. It is nickel-free. We make our sterling silver rosaries with 100% sterling silver metal components. We make most of our sterling silver rosaries wire-wrapped. It takes more than twice the wire and results in a durable rosary. We also make them with classic links. For those, we use a heavy gauge wire for reliability.
Sterling-Silver-Filled
Sterling Silver Filled wire has an extra thick layer of .925 Sterling bonded to a brass core. It will not flake off like plated material. When you look at the cut ends, there is no visible brass. We have a similar quality sterling silver-filled chain to complement it. It is an affordable alternative to Sterling Silver.
