I make freeform sterling silver wire wrapped bracelets. One end is a spiral, the other is formed into a hook. Any tips on making the hook look more finished and professional?

Answer:

Wire Faculty member Sherrie Lingerfelt did a great job in this video tutorial, showing How to Make a Double Wrapped Hook. I believe it will look nice on your handmade bracelets too!

    Thank you. Lovely hook. I notice it was made with twisted half hard wire. What guage is best?

      Thanks Malone, the wire gauge you choose to use for a hook should match the project it is being created for. For example, an item made in 22g would look great with a 22g hook, etc.
