ok mag,
need 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.
thanks

Hi SallyJenn
I 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
