I'm making bracelets using Beadalon 49 strand jewelry wire and 8mm Swarovski bicone crystals. What is the ideal diameter wire and crimping bead?

We always recommend using the thickest wire that will pass through your beads. Remember that bracelets take a lot of abuse, so be sure not to string it too tightly. Try using our .024" wire with our #2 crimp bead.

This should create a nice solidly built bracelet. Drape is not a major factor here so this should be a good combination. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
