JEWELRY WIRE.....Pure gold is 24 K gold and is so soft it is impossible to utilize in wire wrapping jewelry...14/20 wire or 1/20 rolled gold wire is created by taking a sheet of 14 K gold and bonding it through extreme heat and pressure to a core of semi-precious metal (brass)....Most wire wrappers use 14/20, 12/20, or 10/20 which means 1/20th by weight...There is 100 times more gold in 14 K gold than in gold plate...A 14/20 gold filled piece is usually considered to be a lifetime piece of jewelry...
--------------------------------------------------

Gauge is the most common measurement of wire thickness used in the U.S. the smaller the gauge, the thicker the wire. For example, 16-gauge wire is thicker than 22-gauge wire.
