Ever wondered what half a kilogram of sterling silver looks like? Well, okay, you probably haven’t. But now you know the answer!
This is actually just under half a kilogram (479g to be exact – or 1.05 US pounds). Each of the sheets is 0.5mm thick and approximately 65mm tall and wide (that would be 0.02″ thick and 2.6″ tall and wide).
And of course each one of them will be used in making my handmade jewellery – in fact, some have been already!
I use a great deal of 0.5mm sterling silver sheet as it’s my favourite thickness to work with, so I’m always running out of the stuff. So this year I thought I would buy a chunk of it in the hope that this will see me through much of the busy festive season without me needing to dash back to my suppliers too frequently, while hoping that they have enough stock on hand whenever I need it.
Wow, that’s a lot of silver! It seems like a great idea to stock up and have it on hand for the holiday season. I am posting about your shop today on my blog. I really love the picture frame necklace!
