Ask the Experts Wire Gauge Q&A
What is the best gauge wire for making ear wires?
- Suzanne, NV
The best wire for making ear wires is 22-gauge wire. This gauge will make a stable, yet flexible and comfortable ear wire.
The ear wire can be shaped using wire-wrapping pliers or a wire jig and the ends can be smoothed using a wire rounder.
Refer to ''All About Jewelry-Making Wire'' for information about wire and an extensive look at options available for jewelry-making projects.
