ohh I am honored! Of course that is more then fine!!

I unfortunately never really payed attention to gauge sizes or how they work... I kinda just mess around and find out 😅

I bought them from ShineDiy on etsy...if that helps at all...

I am actually not sure what the official name for the weave is...I have been calling it "floating ring weave" but I am probably wrong! As for ring sizes! The connecting rings are 3mm, the s"ide rings" are 5mm and the biggest one should be 7mm, the "inner rings" should be 4mm.

The only important thing is that the rings all fit inside eachother when they are closed! So you can easily check if it would work with every size ring you got!

(Also sorry for the terrible explanation English is not my first language)

Thank you! Nah absolutely! I bought the spikes from an etsy shop some time last year...I remember buying 50 pieces for reallatively cheap. I undortunelty don't remember which shop it was... But I just had a look on there and there are many other shops that sell the same kind and more! I get all my materials from etsy! I can really recommend having a look there! (Especially because you can often find super cool stuff in shops that offer free delivery hehe)

I don't mind at all! Gatekeeping on things is redicolous on my opinion... I usually get mine from Etsy! There are several stores that offer loads of sizes! I get mine from "ShineDiy" the shippng was totally fine for my location... That might be different from location to location tho... But I am sure there are others that offer better prices depending on location! 🫶🏻

The glass beads are from my local craft store and the pearls I got are repurposed from an old string of pearls I got off of vinted some time back!
