Heavy Brass
What gauge of wire (preferably brass) is best for making my own bangle bracelets?
And should I use hard, or 1/2 hard wire? I want them to be resilient, so they don't mush if they get banged into something and will last for a while. But I don't want them to be too heavy.
try this web site. I haven't looked through it thoroughly, but it talks about different gauges of wire and they have an 800 number, which I assume you could call, pretending you're going to buy wire from them, and ask about gauges.
