Piece of string question - you can use anything from 0.1mm up to 3mm+ depending on what it is you want to make. Did you have any particular styles or techniques in mind?

Hi,just bead caps for now but want to make alsorts of jewelry when i get more tools,thanks Parin.

for caps, anywhere from 0.2mm up to about 0.7mm. If they're going to be etched, or otherwise surface treated, they need to be in the upper range.
