| Without actually seeing the pearl drill hole and the headpin you are using it's difficult to envision what you will need. Your drill hole size indicates you need a rather heavy gauge wire, 14 or so, but don't even go there because you can't wrap it. You can go down to a 16-18 ga, but again, that's a fairly heavy wire which can be wrapped but I don't know how attractive it will be. I'd really encourage you to seek out a well-stocked bead store even if it means taking a side trip some weekend. Try artbeads (I've never bought from them but Caitlin seems to like them) and try Firemountain.com. From what you're describing, you may be better off looking for a bead holder or drop pin rather than wire. Of course, these are all measurements used in the States. My brain hurts when I try to convert wire gauge with Canadian suppliers. Good luck!
