Hi,
I'm just a bit confused about which silver wire I need for something that says it's 16 gauge AWG.
Do I need 1.29mm or 1.20mm
Totally confused!

Sorry I meant 1.30 or 1.2 duh!
It's because it can be measured in different ways -
this might help AWG to square mm Wire Gauge Conversion
what project is it for?

Hi Nic,
It's for a single spiral necklace, which requires 16gauge 7/32 Inner diameter rings, (5.5mm) and it approx 61cm long.

George makes a lot of those designs and could probably suggest which would be best
Other than that a call to someone like beadsisters would probably sort you out too

Thanks Nic, will do!
awg conversion would be 1.3mm
single spiral is not very AR sensitive though Remember you'll need to make a continuous loop (ie claspless) for it to retain the spiral.
Thanks George, I'll get ordering!
So would we class 1.3mm as 18 gauge and if so, what would be 16 gauge?
Soooo confusing!!
Chapter 18, Oppi Untracht, 'Jewelery Concepts and Technology', has lots of wonderful conversion charts between various gauges. It concentrates on American/British equivalents.
It can be very helpful if only because you stand a good chance of finding the translation for various acronyms, which is a good beginning to finding the dimensions you need!
Although Chapter 18 especially is not for the fainthearted. It begins with Hands, Spans, Cubits and Paces.

no, 1.3mm is 16 gauge.
18ga is 1mm.
There's a full chart here:
