i want to make a rosary for my self made out of argentium silver. the beads i will be using are 10mm frosted onyx the rosary will be about 25 inches so it will be long and heavy. I was wondering what size wire and what type of hardness should i use for my rosary i was thinking of 18 gauge half hard silver wire. But i dont quite understand the difference between the hardness of the wire. Can some one please give me an idea of the type of silver wire i should use for my rosary. It will be heavy so i want good wire that wont bend easy.
Most sterling wire is sold half hard. This means that it's still soft enough to work, but can be work hardened with a few good bends or a couple of hits with a hammer. If you see some that's dead soft, it may take a bit more work to get it fully hardened. I really haven't found it to matter much, although with the size of your beads I'd definitely stick with half hard. The gauge of your wire should be sturdy enough for your beads, but also needs to be narrow enough to fit through the holes. 18g may be too large to fit without enlarging your holes (generally not worth the trouble). Go with 20g if you can--most of the stone beads I've had won't fit on anything bigger than 22g. If you wrap the end of the wire at the base of each loop on either side of the bead, you'll have a stronger connection than just bending a loop in the wire. You may also be able to use a slightly large gauge wire for connecting rings between the beads.
