Ive made ring it has changed colour in certain areas like a gold colour.I thought anti tarnish means it shouldnt do that. Please help.

Hi, I suspect that what you are seeing is the copper base wire showing through the plating, not tarnish. This is a good quality wire but it's still really cheap compared with sterling. Silver-filled wire is more durable and also more expensive, but if you want to make small things like rings it might be worth the investment.

No I'm afraid not, 20 gauge is 0.81 of a mm, if you want 1mm you should order 18 gauge. Artistic wire comes in all gauges and is great to work with. Regards Angie

Can this be used for soldering.thanks

I doubt it would work well. It's copper with solver plating, not pure silver. As a solder it would be a pain, pretty sure they have very different melting points and the lack of purity would cause issues. If you tried to solder anything on to this you'd just end up melting the silver plating off I think. Search Google first to see if anyone has had luck using silver plated copper for solder.

what size of bead hole would this wire be used for

Hi Elsa. On the spool of Artistic Wire you will see a gauge, and a width of wire - both indicate the thickness of wire. 20 gauge wire is 0.81mms thick - therefore this wire should fit a bead with a hole side of larger than 0.81mms. An alternative to add beads (e.g. with a smaller hole size) to your design would be to wrap a bead onto your 20gauge wire using a thinner wire which matches in colour (please note that this would mean purchasing a LARGER gauge wire, which is actually thinner). Happy beading :-).
