Hi Steve,
I am new to wire wrapping in 14K gold. As a special gift, I am making earrings by wire wrapping two 1 1/2″ long briolette crystal tear drops. I might add smaller crystal 4mm bicone drops to hang off the wrapped loop. Should I use dead soft or half hard 20g for the briolette and the same for 24g wire for smaller beads?
Thanks,
Carolyn Schaefer
The dead soft is very hard to work with. We only use it when we are making complicated wraps, and need to be able to do a lot of bending before the wire work hardens. For what you are doing, the half-hard is just right.
