Help! Wire gauge question

Sep 10, 2003 2 Replies

I'm trying to finish a necklace here. All I have left to do is make a wire cage for a focal. BUT....all I have is 24 gauge gold-filled wire.



Will the cage be strong enough for the focal using this gauge? The focal is very light but I wonder if 24g will hold up to wear.



Maybe I should just forget the wire cage and make fringe with seed beads instead. I really want to finish this tonight.

I'm sorry. I'm so new to all this that I don't know the proper terminology and I'm not sure how else to describe it. I'm "terminally challenged"!

Thank you for the suggestion of twisting 2 together, I will try that! I just put it aside last night hoping for some inspiration this morning.
