The gauge determines the size of the wire, but the material will also impact the flexibility. You can also treat a very thin wire the same way you spin threads together to create a rope. Twist or braid several of your wires together and it will be much stronger. Keep in mind though that most rings you can buy are actually forged and bent into the appropriate shape while still hot. They harden and strengthen as they cool. Some metals are more malleable, but they will still be much stronger than anything you can make at home out of wire.

It is firm, but holds its shape well, but normal craft priers wont cut it, you need like tool box pliers<br><b>References : </b><br> memory wire works very well.
