    Hi Razine, Contenti Jewelry Supply http://www.contenti.com/ in Rhode
    Island carries pewter wire.  But pewter is a very soft metal and not
    really recommended to use in thin gauges.  Very thin wire and thin
    pewter crimps may not be strong enough to hold up for very long in a
    piece of jewelry.  In the costume jewelry industry where most jewelry
    is made of casted and plated white metal (pewter), crimps and thin
    wire components are made of plated steel or brass.
