Love these styles but the most important part of creating your own ear wires is to file or use wire rounder tip on your bead reamer on the wire end that goes through your ear :)

Yep! That's definitely a standard finishing step! Thanks for adding :)

Simple yet beautiful, fast project and surely not much mistakes might happen, making this project using only small amount of wire. Love it!

Great video. I live the ones with the ring at the bottom. Can’t wait to make them.

EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION for this new modern look!! THANK YOU!!❤️🌹👍

Very nice! My fave is the same as your fave. I never thought of doing them that way. I will be making a pair very soon! Thanks so much for the video. 😊

I love these. You made it so easy for all of us. Thank you so much.

For the one with the larger circle facing forward, just remember that if you're going to hang something from it, really make sure your wire is super-hardened and that the loop is truly fully closed. Speaking from experience, I lost a pendant because it separated at the point where the circle "closes".

How do you super harden them? I always find mine Tobe bendable, even after hammering ?

I love fancy ear wires! Great job!😊❤️

Awesomeness, thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️

Excellent. I love it! Learning a lot. I like to learn all the tools.

Simply Wow . Too good .Thankyou so much for this Diy .God bless. Tkcare.

Thank you so much. Your videos are so helpful. I would love to hang glass pieces that I make myself.

Softening the wire that goes through your ear is a must especially after trimming it

How do you soften it?

Thank you so much! ☺️🙏🏼💖

Thank you great tips🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖

What about sanding the entry point of the wire that first enters the lobe. They really needed to be cleansed up by sanding

Thank you much!

Will you be showing the earring types that look best on each earring wire style? 😬🥰

I love the ring! can you show how can we make?

thank you

Thanks

Where can Zi order the loop connector tool?

I wonder if you could make a huge hook that goes around your ear? not on the earlobe, all around the back of the ear. Thank you.

If you grip your wire flush, with the round nose pliers, you won’t need to snip anything off the loop because it’ll be perfectly even.

How is a the wire used?

What size flat nose pliers are those?

what mm you used for that hook? 0.5mm can be use?

What type of metal (wirw) can I use so that would not become green in the ear, what are the best ones for staying in the ear for a longer time?

This is a great question. The metal turns your skin green because of the reaction of either your skin or something on your skin that reacts with the copper content in most cheaper wires. So how do you keep this from happening? There are a couple of ways. First, you can try only using precious metals like silver and gold. These seem to be the best result for people with skin allergies because they aren't mixed with the base metals that often cause this reaction. You can try coating your metal with something like and acrylic sealer or even a clear nail polish. It may help the jewelry last longer in the sense that it will take it longer to come in complete contact with the skin. Re-application will be necessary after prolonged wear. A word of caution, if you use these types of products keep in mind that they can and will be harmful to most natural gemstones. As always, it's important to clean your jewelry with mild soap and tepid water every now and then to help guard against dirt and grime that collects over time. Keeping a cleaning jewelry cloth handy is always a good idea! Hope this helps!

That was great, thank you. I have a question about hammers, what type would you recommend? Metal or nylon/rubber? I have seen both used for hardening and want to buy the best type. Thanks

Hi Dawn! It's really up to how you want your design to look! The chasing (or a metal) hammer will add texture and also harden the wire, whereas the nylon/rubber or rawhide will mostly just harden your wire, leaving little to no marring.

Fun and informative video. What is your preferred type of 20 gauge wire for making ear wires?

@JewelSchool

3 жыл бұрын

Hello! There are so many different colored and varieties of wire out there, it's so hard to know the right one to use. First of all, 20ga, which you already know is the best gauge. It's small enough to fit in your ear holes and sturdier than 22ga. It's less likely to lose it's shape. 18ga is going to be too big and way too malleable for simple ear wires. As far as the hardness, the para wire JTV sells is a sturdy, 20ga, non-tarnish wire and doesn't state a set hardness. It should be perfectly fine to use as that's what Susan and Ryan-Ashley use the most for these tutorials. If your worried about it, go for a half-hard genuine sterling silver wire. You will still need to hammer it some (as you will with the coated para wire) to get it a little more hard, but not as much as you would for a dead soft, which is very malleable. Also, .925 sterling silver (or any type of gold karat wire like 10K, 14K) is the choice for most people who might be worried about metal allergies. You'll have to pay a little more, but it could be worth it for peace of mind. The choice is really up to you! We hopes this helps!

​@@JewelSchool Wow - Thank you for your quick reply and for the information! I'm a beginner and love the options out there, but ear wires seem to be a bit of a gray area in terms of what is OK to use. This clarification is quite helpful!

What is tha name of this wires

thanks for sharing, i make earrings and really sick of paying high prices for pretty findings, never mind even FINDING the ones I like , like the first one you made but rounder rather than pointed. Too many people putting in their "2 cents" to help you along in your tutorial" they need to make their own.. lol

I can never find wire that isn’t super bendable for making ear hooks. I want something that will keep its shape. Any recommendations?

@JewelSchool

Susan usually uses 20ga German style wire (medium temper) for all her ear wires. They hold their shape pretty well! Also, you can "lightly" hammer them to help work harden the wire a bit. But you only want to hammer "lightly," so it doesn't flatten the wire. If it flattens, it won't fit through your ear piercing.

Could you try making the different geometric hoop earrings?

Okay so I'm considering to begin jewelry making but if there's one thing that from the get-go I don't like is having a flush cut that goes into my ear because I did have some earrings that I purchased like that once ( I guess someone had made them for sale ) and they didn't have like that " little tip " or "needle like point" that would go easier into your ear., so...., my question is how to make something that is professional with the little needle tip ? 🙏

Hello! Really the best way to avoid that jagged edge is to file, file, file! A wire rounder works great and makes the tip of the wire so much more smooth.
