    looking for 18K rose gold soft wire

    I am looking for soft and hard 18k rose gold wires for a commission work I committed to. I'd very much like to save time and buy a ready to use wire. Looked at rio's site but they don't seem to have it. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Judiez

    Both Hoover & Strong:

     and Hauser & Miller:

     carry various gauges of 18k rose gold wire, though H&M calls it "pink gold."

     Best of luck with the commission!

    Hi,

    I looked at Hoover&Strong but didn't manage to open an account to see prices and specifications. Hauser & Miller's site is also not simple to use.

    I'm back to recommending Pasternak Findings. Check out their gold wire section. You'll see there exactly what you asked about in your post.  

    Good luck!

    Re: looking for 18K rose gold soft wire

    Hello,

    Based on the previous posting I checked out Pasternak Findings and made a purchase. I just received my first order of rose gold wire from Pasternak and I am very unhappy with the quality. I purchased three gauges of dead soft gold-fill.  One of the gauges is by far the worst wire I have ever had shipped to me. The condition of the wire is such that it looks like it has been used before or was recovered from the bottom of a bin.  Even worse, there are dark and rough patches all over it making it look like either the quality of the gold or the processing of the is substandard.  The condition of the other two gauges is better, but the quality of the gold or processing is suspect due to variation in the color of the gold in patches. I cannot use any of this wire in my jewelry due to its poor quality.  I will be repackaging this for return shipment.  I’m worried that I will lose out on shipping expenses as this company is in Israel.  Pending the outcome of the return of the order I cannot recommend purchasing from this company.

     I'm a dealer for Stuller and can probably get you what you need for a little lower than market price.  Just let me know the specifics and I can send you a price!

    Try T.B Hagstoz it is a family run business talk to Ross they have all the machines needed. Ask Ross to pull you some 18 ga. Gold wire. Im assuming you mean 18k and not rose gold filled.
