looping wire / Earring loops

[luckymary]

Hello again
I've started this new style earring wire designs, and what i use ( im sure its no secret ) is the metal peg board I’ve created out of simple nails and a piece of wood. It works wonders for me, but i have a question on the type of wire i should use. I use half-hard or soft 15 gage wire, but not sure what the recommended gauge and wire type used for such projects is. Any help from anyone would be wonderful.
Thank you all :P

hi mary
well, i use 16 or 18 gauge wire preferably 1/2 hard, i guess you would want to use a bit harder wire because you would want your wire to never move or nudge around and loose its design. it will be a little harder to work with because it is harder wire, but that is what i think. :idea:

hope that helps somewhat

Hello all.
Thank you for your posts.
I believe Margot is correct, using a mid range wire is not only easier to twist and turn, but will stay snug and not move around. Go with a 16 17 or 18. We should be getting some of these wires soon, so check back with us. Thank you :lol:

Hi Fairy Princess
Thank you for your posts. If you are looking for bracelets under $20, most of our bracelts are no more then that much. We use and sell nothing but quality beads, so the silver we use is sterling silver.
We will soon be opening our new on line store where you can shop for much more items and jewelry.
Please do come back and visit us.
Thank you again for your post. :P

Best Wishes

Im looking to do a new design style where i mix gold wires with semi precious stones, sort of like weaving them and coming up with designs such as flowers or cute faces etc. Anyone ever do such a design idea?
