Jewlery Supplies

Ok first off sorry if this is not in the right area. Anyway I need to find a store that sells silver wire (16 and 14 gauges). I already checked places like Micheal's and Johann fabric. I really need to find this stuff fast (and hopefully at a nice price) I need it to make chainmail things for my art project. thanks for reading my post

Munro crafts in Berkley on 12 mile sells TONS of different wires, including sterling. Frankly, I think they're expensive. But they've got the best selection I've found in the Detroit Metro area.

Busia's Beads on Biddle (Jefferson) in Wyandotte sells some silver wire.

If you find different, let me know. I'm ony starting to dabble in wire work, and partially hampered because I can't afford Munro.

I also recommend Munro's... there is also another place on 12 mile a few blocks west of Coolidge, can't remember the name... they are a serious jeweler's supply wholesale/retail store... prolly better prices then Munro's. If I recall the name I'll add to this!

Thank you for the replies! I'll check out Munro's and I hope you remember that store lol.

ok after researching some stuff I think I want to try to use stainless steel wire and aluminum. Where do I find that stuff?

Again, Munro. I've never seen a bigger selection of wires than theirs.

But call first. I'm not 100% sure what their non-sterling is made of.

Also give Lowe's and Home Depot a call. Maybe there's some kind of industrial or other use for wire of stainless steel or aluminum?
