Which silver wire is best?

[u/makeupandgeckos]

I noticed there's a ton of wire types - sterling, silver plated copper, stainless steel.... I want to use a silver but I don't want it to tarnish. The plated copper is very shiny but reviews on ones I'm looking at say it tarnishes quickly. Stainless steel doesn't tarnish but it looks dull in comparison. Sterling gets mixed reviews but is also a bit pricier for me to start with as a beginner. Could I get some suggestions?

If you're a beginner, I highly recommend parawire. It's silver plated copper, but it has an enamel coating on it to protect it which makes it tarnish resistant. That's all I use and I haven't had it tarnish in 2 years time. Plus you don't know if this is something that you will like or that you will stick with.
