Britannia v Sterling

[theresa]

Is there any advantage to using Britannia over Sterling for anticlastic bangles/cuffs?
I like the idea that the silver is purer and more malleable, other than that, has anyone any experience of working with Britannia?

Thanks
Theresa

I get my castings for enamelling done in Britannia because I think it helps them to enamel better. Never worked it though.

Yes, I get my enamelling castings done in Britannia too. Maybe you should try Argentium Theresa.

Thanks Carole - Have just ordered some Argentium.

Spoke too soon!
No Argentium until end of June which is a pain because I want it for an exhibition.
Had to order sterling.....

Sorry Theresa
We've had a run on Argentium over the last few weeks and it will be a few weeks until we are back in stock with that thickness. We do have 1mm and 1.2mm available at the moment
