Recommended Wire Gauges
for Wire Designing Tools
Wire gauge is an important factor to consider when designing. WigJigs and the Twist 'n' Curl have been designed for a wide variety of wire gauges. The recommended gauges for each tool are listed below. In some cases you may find that a particular design will work with a wire gauge somewhat smaller or larger than those indicated. Also, wire gauges "in between" these sizes will work.
- Olympus: 12G to 24G
- Delphi: 18G to 24G
Twist 'n' Curl Basic: 18G to 26G
Mini Twist 'n' Curl: 22G to 34G
Spool Knitters: 24G to 28G

| This WigJig web page is provided as
part of WigJig University - College of Jewelry Making Techniques. We
try to provide interesting jewelry making techniques using beads, jewelry wire and
other jewelry supplies. We
hope that the jewelry making skills taught on these web pages will provide you enough information for you to
incorporate these techniques in your own jewelry making projects. For beginners, we suggest
that you start with a visit to our
Beginners Jewelry Making pages. These pages discuss the skills necessary
for making jewelry in the detail that beginners need. We also suggest that
beginners to jewelry making might need to visit the
WigJig
University College of Jewelry Making Designs for jewelry making
projects using the skills and techniques shown here.
Most, but not all of the jewelry supplies shown here can be purchased in our WigJig store. We try to have a complete selection of jewelry supplies in our store including chain, wire, glass beads, findings, watches, tools, etc. The jewelry making projects shown here do not use Sterling Silver. The reason for this is simple, it is harder to get good pictures of Sterling Silver wire components than with colored wire including gold-filled, copper, or brass wire. Any project shown in colored wire can be made in Sterling Silver wire. |
