What length will fit you best?
To help you find the right size in inches.... I prefer to wear mine closely-fitted to my neck. I suggest you measure loosely around your neck right around the soft area just above the collarbone then add 1/2 inch. If you like it closely fitted, is is the size you want, you can add an inch or two for a looser fit.  It is all your preference. If the tape measure feels too tight, the neckwire will be too tight. If you are not sure, it is always better to go a little too big than a little too small. Hope this helps.
About the wire
WIRE THICKNESS is measured in gauges.  The thickness of the wire increases as the gauge number decreases. (ex. 18 gauge wire is thicker than 20 gauge wire, 20gauge wire is thicker than 22 gauge wire, etc.).  the wire also comes in square, round, half-round shape. Although they are the same measurement in (mm), Square seems to be the thickest and sturdiest of the 3 shapes followed closely by round, then half round.  Half round is only half the thickness so it  is the least sturdy upon comparing equal gauges.
22ga = .64mm    20ga = .81mm     18ga =1.02mm    16ga = 1.29mm   14ga = 1.63mm
Gold-filled Jewelry will last for Generations
Wire Sculpting dates back as far as the 1400BC's. The Egyptians and Phoenicians made wire art over 5000 years ago.
14Kt Gold-filled jewelry was worn extensively in the Victorian Era. Many of these Heirloom pieces are still handed down through generations and are considered highly collectible.  Most pieces made from Gold-filled wire will last for generations, if treated and cared for like fine gold.  It is nearly impossible to distinguish 14kt gold-filled wire from 14kt gold wire.  Gold-filled jewelry is NOT costume jewelry, but rather fine jewelry that can be beautifully worn for a lifetime.
Jewelry created from gold filled wire is considered lifetime jewelry.  This is jeweler quality wire.
How Gold-Filled Wire is Made
14k gold filled is also known as rolled gold or 14/20 gold. This is not to be confused with gold plate. Gold filled wire is very durable and contains 100 times more gold than gold plate. It is manufactured by a process that binds a layer of gold to a semi-precious metal, creating a finish of gold that does not scratch off or tarnish like gold plate.
14kt gold-filled wire is made by forming a tube of solid 14kt gold that is filled with a base metal. The gold is bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. The base metal is also gold in color and is made up of almost the same mixture of metals (usually a brass alloy) used to bring 24kt gold down to 14kt, 10kt, etc. The exterior of the product is solid 14kt gold and everything you can see or touch is a solid layer of 14kt gold.  This is why it will never tarnish, chip or wear off.
This is a very sophisticated process and only a few mills in the world do it. There is also a US law requiring that any gold filled wire must be at least 1/20 pure gold by weight. My wire meets that standard.
All of my jewelry is made from 14kt gold-filled or Sterling Silver/Anti-tarnish Sterling Silver
