    I had RG fax me the two pages pertaining to available Argentium
    stock. 

    They are carrying: 

    Round wire in even guages 8 through 26, and 19 guage (but not 21g,
    which seems weird to me, I've never used 19g wire but I have used
    21g wire for earring wires). 

    Sheet in even guages 14 through 30. 

    1/2 round wire even guages 6 through 16 

    Square wire even guages 10 through 18. 

    I was hoping for 1/2 round and square wire down to 22g or 24g, but I
    can get a drawplate and draw it down if I have to.  As long as I
    have the half-round or square to start with it becomes a trivial
    problem to draw it down (as opposed to trying to turn round wire into
    something other than round wire with only a drawplate). 

    Argentium solder in 20g round wire and 30g sheet. 

    They're also carrying reticulation silver now.
