Bullion

What is bullion?

Bullion is a term for precious metals in bulk. Although most commonly silver or gold, bullion could be any precious metal that is at least 99.5% pure. Bullion, which is valued based on its metal content and purity, is often an investment tool. However, bullion is also commonly used in the jewellery making space.

At Cooksongold, we offer a variety of bullion by post in the UK to use in your jewellery making projects. If you’re interested in learning more about bullion, check out our Bullion Buying Guide.

What are the different types of bullion?

We have a diverse range of jewellery bullion available in specific cuts and thicknesses for your next project. These include the following:

Precious metal wire and tube

Wire is a versatile material used for making rings, clasps, jump rings, ear wires, filigree work, wire wrapping, and intricate decorative elements. Similarly, tubes are used to create settings for stones, hinges, or hollow structural components to reduce weight while maintaining the piece's durability.

Our range of precious metal wires and tubes is a popular choice among professional jewellery makers. Cut to your exact requirements and available in gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, and brass, check out our bullion wire and tube range today.

Precious metal sheet

Metal sheet is fundamental in many jewellery-making projects. It can be used to cut out jewellery components and form pendants, cuffs, and backplates for settings. Metal sheet can also be textured, engraved, or stamped to add decorative details.

We offer metal sheet bullion in a range of sizes and thicknesses, which can be cut to suit your exact requirements. We also stock a huge range of sterling silver, Argentium silver, Mokume Gane, and gold sheets.

Solder strip and wire

Solder strips are typically used at joint areas, whereas solder wire is most often used in fine areas and intricate designs, often with a soldering torch. In our high-quality bullion collection, we offer easy, medium, and hard solder strips and wires in varying lengths and finishes.

Grain and casting pieces

Casting grains are pre-formed metal pieces, such as sprues and buttons, used in various casting techniques to produce jewellery components. We offer a wide collection of cadmium-free sterling silver casting grains, white, red, and yellow gold grains, plus platinum and palladium casting pieces for a variety of jewellery making projects.
