Hi, I checked with Kevin Whitmore, the product manager for Silver at
Rio. He says it that Argentium Sterling will be available at Rio
sometime after July 4—they have the silver now, but are finishing
up the stock room, and supplying it with its own shear, and other
such organizational details—it sounds like they are being very
careful.
Meantime, Argentium Sterling is available through Stuller, Hoover
and Strong, and G&S Metals. Also, there is a company called Magic
Novelty that sells a few gauges of wire, such as 24 and 26, and a few
findings made of Argentium Sterling, such as head pins and ear wires.
