From the manufacturer
• Manufacturing processes may leave sharp or rough edges on the wire that require finishing.
• We do not anneal our gallery wire because the variation in hardness of the starting material causes the temper of the finished gallery wire to vary from batch to batch (hardness as-rolled is approx. “Hard”). Unannealed, the wire performs better for shaping stone settings. If you intend to bend or wrap this wire extensively, please anneal it first. Simply flux the wire, heat it to a dull red, then quench it in pickle as soon as it cools below the red color.
