    Default Help please with AWG's

    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!

    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
