Detailed explanation-1: -The gauge of a wire refers to its thickness. Each gauge is represented by a number, with smaller numbers representing thicker wire gauges and higher numbers signifying thinner wires.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wire/cable thickness is defined in terms of gauge. Generally speaking, the smaller the gauge number, the thicker the cable. The standardized method of measuring the thickness of a cable (American Wire Gauge or AWG) was established in 1857 in the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -The higher the gauge number, the thinner the metal. For example, 10 gauge would be much thicker than 15 gauge. Most of our earrings have a post, or part of the earring that slips through the ear, between 19 gauge (thickest) to 24 gauge (thinnest).
