Twisted links

I’m going to be making twisted links to make chains from, for my pendants. This one is 15g wire. It is hammered then twisted, and about 3 inches long. I don’t see any breaks or cracks, so I think I can get away with not annealing it after hammering. I do want to use 12g wire too, so I bought a micro torch to experiment with. I could just buy square wire, but I like the uneveness of hammering the wire flat.
