    Default What thickness of silver for a cuff?

    Hi
    I would like to make a silver cuff approx 5 cm wide. The cuff will be a C shape (not a complete circle)- and will have lots of holes pieced in it for the design.

    Could someone suggest how thick the silver should be for this kind of piece please?

    I would like it to be fairly chunky- but not so much that the piercing work becomes difficult
    Thanks for any advice
