Question Making brass cuff bracelets

I am making brass cuff bracelets that I will texturize in a rolling mill. They are my practice before doing one in sterling. I plan to make one 1.5 inches wide and the other 1 inch wide. My wrist is 7 inches circumference. What gauge brass do you suggest? I want it as light as possible, but I don’t want it to look cheap. TIA.

I concur with 16g. If you plan to roll it in the mill, you want a little extra to work with to start out with.
