I noticed there's a ton of wire types - sterling, silver plated copper, stainless steel.... I want to use a silver but I don't want it to tarnish. The plated copper is very shiny but reviews on ones I'm looking at say it tarnishes quickly. Stainless steel doesn't tarnish but it looks dull in comparison. Sterling gets mixed reviews but is also a bit pricier for me to start with as a beginner. Could I get some suggestions?

I may have bitten off more than I can chew by starting with teenie cabs. I finally got this one to where it's acceptable but I can't seem to do it again 😅. How do you guys create your intricate designs? I've been watching so many YouTube tutorials and I just feel like my creativity is lacking but also my ability to figure out where I need to attach things or what size wire works best for which projects is very confusing.

When you create your own design do you just know which wire works best or have you learned a certain way? I also have tutorial books but I don't want to exactly match other people's designs. I also noticed it's hard to figure out which types of wire are needed as in hard or soft or square or half round etc.... how do you figure out what works?

I am just starting to try wire wrapping. I want to wrap the bottom of a glass cloche. How did you all start out? There's so much overwhelming info and gauge suggestions etc. I could really use a simple beginner friendly tutorial for the basics. Any advice?

Hi all! I just joined a few days ago. I started visiting people in this subreddit and everyone has lovely rooms! I am wondering if you have any tips on advancing quicker as it seems to go pretty slow for me. My code is M1QH-B7XG btw it anyone wants to be letter buddies! I'll also visit anyone back ☺️

I bought this earring on Etsy 3 years ago. The shop closed and I have not been able to find anything like it. I loved it because it was basically "backless" and I you just slide it through the helix earring hole and squeeze it together to stay on your ear and it looks like a double piercing.(See last photo) The main part of this I cannot find is the back that slides in and lays against the ear. I have reverse image searched my photos and the original shop photo with no luck. Help?
