Elven ear cuffs - wire work
Hi Guys in this tutorial I want to show you how to make wire ear cuffs. This tutorial is a bit longer than normal as it was quite involved (more than I anticiatepd lol) These are as much fun to wear as they are to make. You just need to adjust the frame to fit the shape of your ear. I will show you how to create the frame, add your base wires, create the weaves and set gemstones. If you are not comfortable setting un-drilled gemstones, you can use drilled beads instead. I hope you like it! Leave a comment below!

That’s the most awesome ear cuff I’ve seen, beautiful, thank you for sharing x
I see that you have difficulty bending a wire of such thickness. Judging by the final processing of the product, you are using wire without a special coating. Then, as a life hack, I can advise you to anneal the wire (copper) first. I usually anneal it on a regular burner on the stove until it turns red and then cool it in water. This kind of wire bends much easier and is generally softer. Normal hardness can be restored by lightly tapping with a hammer and bending. I don't know if I explained it clearly... :)
50cm is 20 inches, I’m an age where we were taught metric & imperial. When I’m teaching workshops I ask which they’d like & all my instructions and diagrams have both, I usually use 2 different colours for clarity, usually it’s say red & blue because it’s easy to see and identify 😁
Love this Nadia🎉 Can't wait to try it, Def will use 20g for detail👍. Thankyou so much❣️
