    Default 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
