Try your hand at fusing with these fun components, which you can form into any shape your heart desires! We make the base of the forms with Fine Silver wire in 18, 16, or 14 gauges, using a mini butane torch to fuse the ends together. This is a process which is simpler and cleaner than soldering, but it does take a watchful eye and quick control of the torch. Once the base is formed, we use 26 gauge wire to coil along the edges and string tiny beads across in the center, forming an abacus style pendant or earring components, which are very textural and look amazing!
