Rivet wire question

Can anyone suggest a good wire for silver coloured rivets? I usually need an 16 g wire for riveting rhinestones to connectors and brass wire works well, but sometimes silver colour would match better.
The catch is that I try to keep my work nickel free. This is costume jewellery, but I'd go with sterling if that's be best option. Would silver work as rivet material with brass?
Thanks.

Thank you. I was reluctant to start using German wire because of the nickel.
