Jewelry wire gauge is a measure of the diameter or gauge of wire used in jewelry manufacture. Wire is a single, usually cylindrical, elongated strand of drawn metal. This definition is currently correct, but was not correct when wire was first invented over 2,000 years BC. Wire was first made from gold nuggets pounded into flat sheets. The sheets were then cut into strips and the strips were first twisted and then rolled into the round shape we call wire. This early wire was used in making jewelry. This early wire, made from sheets of pounded metal, can be distinguished from modern wire by the spiral line along the wire created by the edges of the sheet.
Today jewelry gauges measure much more than wire, here you will find gauges to measure, sheet, diamonds and gems of all sizes, as well as settings for gems. So depending on your need and which type you select; it will provide you the size width and length of what you are measuring. So whether its diamonds, or silver and gold sheet or wire, with easy to use gauges, electronic, manual or digital gauges you will find it here at the jewelers toy store.
