If anyone would like beautiful wire trees to display your beautiful work check out barefootgardeners! I have several different sizes! I use super sturdy 14 gauge, 16, 18 (most to wrap) wire. The copper jewelry tree (weighs 2 pounds by itself!) is made out of wire used to tie together hog fences! I know it hold at least 3 pounds of jewelry! (I'm not sure how to post a picture, yet!) Happy days! Michelle
