    With the recent discussion about wire wrapping I thought I would
    pass along this chart I found in a book ages ago. I use it to make
    my jump rings. I have a collection of knitting needles to wrap with
    and it's worked out quite well. 

    For this jump ring...                        Use this mandrel...
    4mm of 20g (.75mm) rnd wire           2.5mm
    5mm of 20g (.75mm) rnd wire           3.5mm
    5mm of 18g (1mm) rnd wire              3.0mm 
    6mm of 18g (1mm) rnd wire              4.0mm
    6.5mm of 16g (1.25mm) rnd wire       4.0mm
    7mm of 18g (1mm) rnd wire              5.0mm
    7.5mm of 16g (1.25mm) rnd wire      5.0mm
    8mm of 18g (1mm) rnd wire              6.0mm
    9mm of 18g (1mm) rnd wire              7.0mm
    9mm of 16g (1.25mm) rnd wire         6.5mm
    9mm of 14g (1.5mm) rnd wire           6.0mm
    12.5mm of 14g (1.5mm) rnd wire      9.5mm
