Pewter wire is a versatile material predominantly made from tin, with small amounts of other metals such as copper or antimony added to enhance its hardness and durability. It is popular in various crafts, particularly jewelry making and model making, because of its pliability and attractive silver-like finish. The low melting point of pewter wire also makes it suitable for some soldering applications. Typically, pewter wire comes in a variety of gauges or thicknesses, offering flexibility for different project requirements. Despite its many uses, care must be taken when using pewter wire, as it is softer than other metals and can scratch or dent more easily.
