💍 What’s the BEST wire for making rings and wrapping gemstones?
Lots of people ask me what kind of wire I recommend, especially if they want jewelry that doesn’t tarnish easily without spending too much! 🤍
Here’s my honest advice:
✨ Gold-filled wire — beautiful for gold jewelry and wire-wrapped rings.
🤍 Sterling silver wire — perfect for silver designs and gemstone wrapping.
💰 On a budget? Stainless steel wire is another option with excellent corrosion resistance.
📏 Which gauge should you buy?
• 18 gauge — stronger rings and structural designs
• 20 gauge — a versatile starting point for many ring designs
• 22 gauge — smaller wraps and delicate details
• 24 gauge — wrapping pearls, beads, and finer details
Remember, no wire is completely tarnish-proof, and the best gauge depends on your project!
