This is specifically for multi-wire bezel frames (traditional style). There are too many variables to design but this might help if you are wrapping traditional style pendants. It only calculates frame wire lengths and will give suggested gauges for your size stone.
Here is how it works...
1. Choose millimeters or inches.
2. Input your cabochon dimensions... length, width, thickness
3. Press Calculate.
4. It returns lengths in millimeters and inches as well as bases the number of wires and length on your stone thickness. It also gives wire gauge recommendations for that size stone.
NOTE: These calculations are based on a 1/2 inch bale with about 4mm inside diameter for chain or small beads. They assume minimal design, so please add a couple inches if you are doing very curly design.
