It was seeing Cindy Wimmer's Spiral Wire Clasp that started me off again. If you haven't visited Cindy's blog Sweet Bead Studio yet, go and do so now (and come back to me afterwards, pretty please!). Those of you who buy Beads and Beyond magazine will hopefully remember the beautiful necklace that she had on the front cover of the magazine last July. I always try to use handcrafted findings in my jewellery, especially if I can make them to match the rest of the piece I've made. Cindy's Spiral Wire Clasp is quick to make, strong and, of course, beautiful - and you can find the photos and instructions here.
Great link. Thanks. Good to see up up and running again. Just one question what is 16 gauge wire in mm?
ReplyDeleteHi Fiona!
ReplyDelete16 gauge wire is 1.29mm according to conversion tables. There's more information about wire gauges and uses on a post I wrote a while back here in the jewellery tutorials section.
