Still on the stiff side, but workable with proper tools. Good for artisans who like defined edges and crisp lines.

A comfortable middle ground. Not too soft, not too firm. Great for most jewelry projects and accessible for beginners with guidance.

Easy to bend and shape with predictable results. Smooth, consistent thickness makes it ideal for new makers and quick projects.

Extremely easy to work with. Bends smoothly, shapes beautifully, and requires minimal force. Perfect for beginners, workshops, and delicate designs.
