    Hello Susan, As the content of 14K gold alloys will vary, I suggest
    that you contact your source for the wire and ask them for the
    technical information. Next time you order, ask for dead soft wire,
    meaning it is annealed to be as pliable as possible. 

    There may be another alloy that will better meet your need, so
    consider talking to one of the precious metal refiners like Hoover
    & Strong, David H. Fell, A.T. Wall, .... I'm sure there are others -
    perhaps they'll chime in. 

Hope this helps,
