Really wonderful tutorial . Thank you

The necklaces and memory wire cuffs are so pretty. I was hoping you were going to show how the pendants were made too.

Is this a certain gauge of memory wire? Mine is usually so tight, and doesn’t really fit as loose as this for a cuff look. Mine is really snug and coiled. Thanks for the help!

Most memory wire is 22ga which is what we believe Cynthia used in this segment of Beads Buables & Jewels, but there is also a heavier gauge on the market (19ga?). Memory wire does come in different coil sizes - for example Beadalon has "Bracelet", "Large Bracelet" and "Extra Large Bracelet" sizes. Remember that the larger your beads, the smaller the inside diameter of your bracelet will be. Also, once you have beads on the wire, the weight should spread the coils out some.
