I was having so much waste and saving the scraps to later melt down. I didn’t think of using the wire from the spool still attached to wrap! I’ll try this! I do tuck the coils in so they looks uniform and pretty :) it pains me when I see wires sticking out on pieces!

[@stonesandfindings]

Yes, it pains me to see wires sticking out and it will likely pain people wearing it - literally. Wasting also pains me, I don't know why we are talking about pain, LOL. I should rephrase - I find it very satisfying when I know I don't waste any wire, and I love seeing things done perfectly!!

Can you please be more specific about the wire you use for gold and sterling silver? I want to make sure I buy the correct wire. I am a beginner. Thank you

[@stonesandfindings]

The wire you need should depend on the size of the beads you're wrapping. In this case, I am wrapping 3mm pearls. I used 26 ga (0.4mm) solid 10K gold. If you are using gold filled or 925 silver, you want to use soft or dead soft - avoid hard or half hard. Dead soft will give you a smoother wrap and easier on your wrists.

Hiya can I ask please what do you charge for these? Also what beads and pearls do you suggest for permanent jewellery?

[@stonesandfindings]

The most popular are natural birthstones (except instead of diamond, we have natural Herkimer Diamond Quartz mined in Herkimer NY). Also popular are rose quartz, tanzanite and opal - they're not birthstones.
