Frequently Asked Questions

Half round wire is a type of wire used in jewellery making that has a round surface on one side and a flat surface on the other.

This unique shape makes it versatile and ideal for certain types of jewellery designs. The round side provides a smooth, curved appearance, while the flat side sits flush against other components, making it easier to work with than fully rounded wire for some applications.

we offer this style in various metals, including sterling silver, gold, as well as in different gauges (thicknesses).

Half round wire is commonly used in various jewellery-making applications due to its versatile shape. It's particularly popular for creating ring bands, bracelet cuffs, and bezel settings because the flat side provides a sturdy base that's comfortable against the skin, while the rounded side offers a polished, aesthetically pleasing finish.

It's also used for wire wrapping, where the flat side offers a secure grip on stones or other components, and for creating decorative elements in pieces where a smooth, rounded edge is desired.

The gauge of wire used for half round rings can vary depending on the design and size of the ring. However, commonly used gauges range from 16 to 12 gauge for the main structure of the ring. - These gauges provide enough thickness for durability while being malleable enough to shape.

For more delicate designs or finer detail work, thinner gauges like 18 or 20 might be used.

It's important to choose a gauge that provides the right balance of strength and flexibility for the specific type of ring being made.
