Is that the normal size gauge to use. And it needs to soft wire? And this does not need to tumbled and it looks and feels like those bangle brackets out there?
We like to use a minimum thickness of 16 gauge to teach beginners, but 14 and 12 is our preferred gauge for strength. Yes, tumbling is how we do it, but if you don't have a tumbler, then don't let that stop you! Hammering will harden it enough for personal wear :). good luck!!!
Perfect. So I don’t need a tumbler? If I do get a tumbler which one should I get from Amazon. And if not How much do I need to hammer it? Thank you for replying
@@pochohontis I'm not sure about Amazon, as we don't sell there, but, I wish you the best!! Watch some of our hammering videos to see how much we hammer the different wires (it depends on the gauge and temper).. aloha!!!
I tried running a few Tahitian pearl bangles for the first time with your guys shot for about 45 and it seemed to dull the luster on pearls a bit. Did I do something wrong?
Aloha! That is not something I'm familiar with happening or able to troubleshoot without more details, as so many things can contribute to a pearl getting dull. Please call the store so we can get the details and figure it out with you, so it doesn't happen again!

Is the tumbler to polish? Or is it not necessary? Please let me know.
I like the pear with big hole, where I get those?
