Hi there, thanks for adding me to the forum. I'm very much a beginner and I'm concentrating on making rings and pendants from the mountain of seaglass I've collected over the years. I'm trying granulation just now and I've made silver balls from scraps of recycled silver d wire. I'm wondering if you could also use silver plated craft wire or would the mixed metal react when melted? Nice to have a forum fellow jewellery enthusiasts. Cheryl
