<p>[QUOTE="Hollyblue, post: 3109950, member: 1496"]Any sterling piece that has been work/spring hardened is not flexible.. From Rio Grande and anyone who has worked with sterling. Spring hardened sterling "Metal thoroughly hardened will lose pretty much all of its malleability and will actually spring back into its original shape when bent by hand. This hardness is ideal for ear wires, jump rings head pins and pin components."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
