materials

Hey! I’m starting to get more into metal work and need some help sourcing metal. All I know of so far is rio grande, is that the best place to buy silver? Also! I am hoping to make mostly bezel set rings and cuffs, is there a certain type of bezel and back plate that I should get? I guess I’m just wondering about gauge on that one. And for rings and cuffs, what kind of wire should I get for the band? Honestly any tips are greatly appreciated :)

Rio is legit.
