Best Answer

You can purchase hard tempered silver wire for these types of applications. However, if you wish to work harden soft wire, first shape it into the desired configuration and then lightly hammer the wire while turning it to ensure even application of force. Continue to do this for a few moments and you will find that the wire hardens due to the stress placed on the material. The more you bend, hammer and shape wire the harder it will get. It will eventually reach a breaking point where it becomes brittle and can snap so don't take it too far!
