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.
I appreciate your feedback so I can try to improve it for us! Much love! Many thanks for participating and for watching my channel! I continue to work to provide you with innovation, inspiration and great designs! #perfectlytwistedjewelry #howmuchwire #wirewrappingtools #wirewrapping #tutorials
