Sounds interesting.
You might also find Silver wire at a Jewelry supply or a bead store locally. Its usually sold by the ounce.
To keep them seperated what about a small piece of heat shrink tubing?
If the pivot hole is smooth there shouldn't be much wear.
You might want to look at half hard silver, that way it will be a little harder but shouldn't loosen up nearly as easy, it also should be easier to peen without bending in the middle.
