Beginner crisis - what size gemstone/stones I need to get for 3mm flat wire
Hello lovely people,
So I’m just teaching myself to make some silver jewellery. I’ve got a flat wire to wrap around cabochon gemstone. But not sure what size gemstone I need to get in terms of height? I don’t have a calliper yet.
I know I can sand it off if the wire is slightly bigger in height but if I get a bit of help from you Lovely people then it would save me time sanding the wire down too much.
The size of flat wire is: 0.75mm x 3mm
I’m just practicing can I use anything else instead of gemstone to practice it would save me money spending on gemstones. Initially I thought I can get some stones from my mum’s drive way just to practice but the wire is too small so I need to practice on really small stones.
The wire was just gifted so I want to make use of it instead of cutting stripes from the copper sheet.
Thank you xxx
