  • Wire Gauge Is a Measurement of How Large a Wire Is, Either in Diameter Or Cross Sectional Area
    Wire gauge - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Wire gauge is a measurement of how large a wire is, either in diameter or cross sectional area. This determines the amount of electric current a wire can safely carry, as well as its electrical resistance and weight per unit of length. Wire gauge is applicable to both electrical and non-electrical wires, being important to electrical wiring and to structural cable. 1 Types of wire gauge 2 Measuring A device for measuring standard wire 3 See also gauge. 4 External links Wire Gauges may be broadly divided into two groups, the empirical and the geometric. The first includes all the older gauge measurements, notably the Birmingham (B.W.G. or Stubs) and the Lancashire. The origin of the B.W.G. is obscure. The numbers of wire were in common use earlier than 1735. It is believed that they originally were based on the series of drawn wires, No. 1 being the original rod, and succeeding numbers corresponding with each draw, so that No. 10, for example, would have passed ten times through the draw plate. But the Birmingham and the Lancashire gauge, the latter being based on an averaging of the dimensions collated from a large number of the former in the possession of Peter Stubs of Warrington, have long held the leading position, and are still retained and used probably to a greater extent than the more recent geometrical gauges. The first attempt to adopt a geometrical system was made by Messrs Brown & Sharpe in 1855.

Continue to page 2 for project instructions. Guest: Kerry Bogart Copyright © 2010 Beads Baubles and Jewels, All Rights Reserved What Wire When: A Guide To Choosing The Right Wire In Your Jewelry Designs Artist - Kerry Bogert When you are ready to take the steps to add wire to your jewelry designs, the first time you view the wire category in a catalog can be confusing and overwhelming. Which wire works best in ear-wires? Can one use that same wire for making wrapped loops or links in bracelets? The first time I ordered wire, I knew I wanted sterling, but didn't get the sizing thing. So, I went with what was cheapest and gave me the most footage per ounce, not understanding what I actually needed. The following is a collection of tips to guide you through understanding what types of metals wire comes in, gauges, hardness ratings, and which wire works best for which projects or components. Types of Wire There are so many types of wire available on the jewelry market today. The classic standbys of sterling silver and gold are still the most common, but have you ever tried brass, anodized copper, or even steel? Look at your individual style of jewelry and see which wire speaks to you. Is your work bright and colorful? Then try experimenting anodized metals. Do you tend to be more rustic or vintage inspired? Oxidized brass or copper can give your work that aged look.

  • Materials List for the Wire Crochet Necklace Set Instructor: Renée Raymond
    Materials List for the Wire Crochet Necklace Set Instructor: Renée Raymond Beads: You may select pearls (real or simulated), crystals, glass, gemstones, wood, or other beads. You can choose all pearls, or a combination of pearls and crystals, or whatever you think would look best. Different shaped beads can add to the look of the necklace. Round, oval, flower, square, etc., shapes all work well. Depending on what size beads you choose, you will need between 50 and 75 beads. The best size beads would be between 4mm and 10mm. For this three-stranded necklace and earrings, my favorite size beads are 6mm and 8mm. I like to color coordinate the beads. To help you decide, see below for my recommendations/examples. * Bring approximately 20-25 each of three different 6-8 mm color coordinating beads (total = 60-75 beads). Example 1 Strand #1: 20 8mm white pearls Strand #2: 20 8mm pink pearls Strand #3: 20 8mm purple pearls Example #2 Strand #1: 20 6mm bronze pearls Strand #2: 25 6mm black faceted diamond-shaped crystals Strand #3: 20 8mm gold pearls These are only examples to Example #3 give you guidance and ideas Strand #1: 20 8mm green leaf-shaped glass beads Strand #2: 20 8mm light pink round faceted crystals when putting your bead Strand #3: 25 6mm fuchsia pearls combinations together.

Because the snowflake form has thicker gauge wire, it is best to cut the wire with a Memory Wire Cutter (FTTL0005). You will create a simple loop at the tip of your pegs, for this you can use round nose pliers and roll a loop. However, we love to use the Memory Wire Finishing Pliers (TLZ0207), which creates less stress on looping the pegs.
