ReplyDeleteneed to ask, i am doing the earring stuff like i told you, now i want to do some rings, which gadge or type of wire that isn't too strong could i use??
i am talking about the wrap rings with maybe some beads on top.

Hi SallyJenn
ReplyDeleteI recommend 20 gauge half hard wire for rings. You can also go up to 18 gauge, but any thinner and the rings are not stable. I like Beadalon's German Style Wire, but that's my personal preference. If you use a soft wire, try hammering the shank to give it some stability. There are lots of great ring tutorials on the internet, have fun!
Cheers,
Madge
