Thanks Traci, I imagine that you are using a craft wire to be able to sell your rings at such a nice, low price. It is difficult to really answer this question without going into hundreds of ‘what works for some that may not work for others’. Using craft wire to create single bead rings or headpin earrings can work in some parts of the world, depending on the type of show and the economy in that particular area. This also depends on the crafter and how much money they wish to make for their time, after paying their booth fee and to replace the materials used in the items sold.
