Coiled Coils Calculator
Coiled Coils Calculator - you know I was gonna do it!! This is one of the hardest things for artists to figure out so I built us a Calculator! Here is the link...

Please let me know what you think and how accurate you think it is. Please use copper wires and not your precious metals if you are testing accuracy. I am still working on building it so your feedback is greatly appreciated! Much love! I hope this helps! Here's how it works: 1. Enter the desired finished length of your coiled coil. 2. Pick the Gauges of wire you're working with. 3. Press Calculate. 4. The results will tell you how long that first coiled wire needs to be to make your finished coiled coil length based on your gauges of wire. And that's the part that we need to know. Yay! In the example in these images, you can see that if I want a 2 inch finished coiled coil, and I am using 28 gauge for the first coil around 24 gauge core, and my final core is 20 gauge that I will tie onto the pendant with, then my first coil needs to be 8 inches long to get a 2 inch finished length on a 20 gauge final core wire. Try it! Let me know what you think. Thank you for participating and thank you for watching and subscribing to my channel! I work hard to bring us helpful tools, good techniques and beautiful designs.Wire Calculator
Hi everyone! I've designed a wire calculator for you! It's on my website and I'm still working on it so I would love your feedback (can't make huge promises but I think it's a neat idea).... anyway, it's free to use, give it a try and let me know how you feel about it and how accurate you think it is. Please try this out with copper wires and not your precious metals as I do not promise it's precise for all designs. This is specifically for multi-wire bezel frames (traditional style). There are too many variables to design but this might help if you are wrapping traditional style pendants. It only calculates frame wire lengths and will give suggested gauges for your size stone. NOTE: This assumes minimal design on the pendant, there is enough to finish with a small curl or two, if you are planning very curly design, add an inch or two to the overall length it returns. The calculations also assume a finished bale of 1/2 inch with about 4mm inside diameter. You can always make a smaller bale too.
Here is how it works... 1. Choose millimeters or inches. 2. Input your cabochon dimensions... length, width, thickness 3. Press Calculate. 4. It returns lengths in millimeters and inches as well as bases the number of wires and length on your stone thickness. It also gives wire gauge recommendations for that size stone.
