Thank you!!! It was super fun to make! I'm putting a similar pattern up on my site soon.

Fantastic! Is this 18 gauge tinned wire?

[@mountainwomanproducts]

I like to use 14 or 16 gauge pre-tinned for jump rings for smaller items and 16 gauge zinc coated steel (it's stronger) for hangers with tails for bigger items. The ones I use are on My Favorite Tools & Supplies page (link in description).💕

What size foil is use for thickness of broken China which is thicker then stain glass??

[@mountainwomanproducts]

It's all going to depend on the thickness of the china (they do vary from manufacturer to manufacturer). For reference, generally speaking, the standard thickness of stained glass sheets is 3mm and we use 7/32" to 1/4" foil for that. You may have to go up or down in foil size a bit to accommodate whatever thickness the china is.😀

Where can I find the right jump rings for soldering??

[@mountainwomanproducts]

You can make your own with pre tinned copper wire (listed on My Favorite Tools & Supplies Page), tin your own copper wire (sweet talk an electrician for some scrap pieces...that's what I do), or get them premade at your local glass supply shop too. 😀
