Here is the full blog for the Soldering a Teardrop Ring tutorial with all the supplies I used in the video.

We don’t recommend using tape to measure ring sizes, we recommend you send your customer a plastic multi ring sizer with their kit. Whatever size your client is, we recommend cutting the length in mm from the righthand column. If you like to pierce through the ring several times when bringing the ends together to form the shank, you might want to add an additional mm. If you’re very accurate at piercing and you don’t cut through, you might be able to take off a mm. Please do not use this chart for gold until you have practice with silver rings, to avoid costly mistakes. This is the chart Nikki has been using for four years, creating thousands and thousands of keepsake and blank rings, now available to you free of charge!

How To Use the Free Wire Gauge Conversion Chart

After you’ve established your customer’s ring size with a multi ring sizer then use a set of digital calipers to measure the length of wire or sheet you want to cut using the length on the column on the right hand side (+4mm), marking it with a Sharpie. Full tutorial coming soon. Watch Nikki do this on the Keepsaker Supplies TikTok page make a ring from start to finish with twisted wire!

Gauge is a measurement of wire diameter, and it’s important to note that there isn’t one universal gauge system. The two most common are American Wire Gauge (AWG) and Standard Wire Gauge (SWG, primarily used in the UK). There are also different gauge systems for sheet metal, jewellery, and even body piercing.

Generally, the smaller the gauge number, the thicker the wire or material.

Here’s a general mm to gauge conversion chart for common wire gauges. Keep in mind that exact conversions can vary slightly between different standards and manufacturers.
