16 gauge wire is 1.29mm
and is a little thicker than the 18 gauge and feels a little more sturdy for heavier pendants. If you you are looking for a thinner or thicker gauge neckwire I also offer 18, 14, & 12 being the thickest gauge. (offered in other listings).

To help you find the right size in inches.... I prefer to wear mine closely-fitted to my neck but not too tight. Using a flexible tape measure (like one for measuring your body for clothes sizes), I suggest you measure loosely around your neck right around the soft area just above the collarbone then add 1/2 inch. If you like it closely fitted, is is the size you want, you can add an inch or two for a looser fit. It is all your preference. With the tape measure in place move your neck around in all directions and allow the tape measure to expand as needed. If you feel any pull with the tape measure then it is too tight and you need to add. If the tape measure feels too tight, the neckwire will be too tight. If you are not sure, it is always better to go a little too big than a little too small. Hope this helps.

Choose any length you want between 14 and 20 inches, full or half sizes. you measure your neck and tell me exactly what size you want me to make it. Choose the length needed from the drop down box. The prices change by length.
The type of wire I use is just hard enough to make a good neckwire and also has a little give for custom adjusting to your neckline. You can gently hand manipulate the wire to form around your neck for best comfort. Which is my favorite part about these. Although my neckwire looks terrible laying off of my neck, when I put it on it hugs all of my necks contours perfectly and looks great. Just a little hand polishing with a cotton cloth will keep it shiny and clean.
I have been making and selling neckwires on Ebay since 2003 as Unique Jewel Designs and on Etsy (@KarenReneeKnowles) since 2018. The neckwires are made by hand us a single piece of wire cut to a customized length and hand formed. The neckwires are hand formed all the way through the hook and loop clasp using only my hands, wire cutters, & pliers, then hand polished to shine. These neckwires work out really great and hold up well as long as you care for them properly. (meaning it may look funky if you cram it in your purse all day).
