JEWELRY WIRE.....Pure gold is 24 K gold and is so soft it is impossible to utilize in wire wrapping jewelry...14/20 wire or 1/20 rolled gold wire is created by taking a sheet of 14 K gold and bonding it through extreme heat and pressure to a core of semi-precious metal (brass)....Most wire wrappers use 14/20, 12/20, or 10/20 which means 1/20th by weight...There is 100 times more gold in 14 K gold than in gold plate...A 14/20 gold filled piece is usually considered to be a lifetime piece of jewelry... --------------------------------------------------
Gauge is the most common measurement of wire thickness used in the U.S. the smaller the gauge, the thicker the wire. For example, 16-gauge wire is thicker than 22-gauge wire. ----------------------------------------------------------- DUE TO THE FLUCTUATING PRICES OF GOLD AND SILVER, PRICES OF WIRE ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE... ----------------------------------------------------------- Approximate gauge to metric conversion:
12 - gauge = 2.0 mm 14 - gauge = 1.6 mm 16 - gauge = 1.3 mm 18 - gauge = 1 mm 20 - gauge = 0.8 mm 22 - gauge = 0.6 mm 24 - gauge = 0.5 mm 26 - gauge = 0.4 mm 28 - gauge = 0.3 mm 30 - gauge = 0.2 mm
