Ok all of you super talented wire artisans....What gauge of wire is the best for earwires?

I don't make them, but I know Kimberly uses 20ga AWG

Oh I really appreciate that!! Thanks so much. I want to attempt some, but I know if the earwire is too thick, it irritates my ears. You and Kimberly are awesome!! Hugs to you both..Thanks again!!

I know that some people do use smaller gauge (like 22), but I always found that too flimsy for my taste...but if your ears are sensitive you may be able to work harden it enough to work.

I also use 20ga for my earwires.
