If you want to know more, look at Firemountain or better still - order a catalogue for free from them, then you can look up everything you want to know.  |
I've had good luck using thin headpins, generally 24 guage. If the item isn't too heavy, as long as you wrap the wire around the base of the loop at least two or three times, it should be plenty strong. Pearls are often drilled with fairly small holes...the 24 guage will fit through almost anything.
