3 Inch Sterling Silver Headpin, 24ga

A: The gauge is up to you. I prefer the 20 gauge, but it is harder to wire wrap than 24 gauge. For the length, of 25mm (about 1 inch), I like to have about 3/4 inch longer so I would use a 2Inch headpin, 20 gauge. There are many jewelry makers who are very good and will always use a much shorter so not to waste any precious metal. If you are beginning I would suggest a 2 or 2.5 Inch headpin as it gives you plenty room to work.
