[@shitalchauhan4427]

So is it 18 or 20 gauge wire? In beginning it shows 20 but during making you mentioned 18.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Shital: You can use 18 or 20 gauge wire for this project. Sometimes gauges vary within brands as do stiffness of the wire. Also depends on how big you want the moon.

[@gracewhitwam6553]

How do you push back the wire to make the crease?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Just do a sharp bend with your flat pliers and push the wire back with your fingers.

[@kailey683]

How well will this wire hold up for everyday use ?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Kailey: If you are wearing the ring in water ie. dishwashing etc. I would opt for sterling or Argentium silver. The artistic tarnish resistant wire has a thin plastic coating to protect it which are ok for rings if you are careful.

[@kailey683]

@@HeatherBoydWire thank you so much!

I have another question, what’s the best gold alternative? Filled wire is expensive that I’ve seen!

[@claudiaiacono7538]

Will tarnish resistant copper cord titanium ever rust, tarnish, or leave a green stain on your skin?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Claudia: I think it depends on your skin sensitivity. The tarnish resistant copper has a thin layer of plastic to protect it which may wear off when wearing often as a ring. If in doubt you can use sterling or Argentium silver wire. Good luck.
