  • Thanks so much for this tutorial! Its the best one that I have found, its so clear and simple! I can't wait to get started making some of these.

  • @InspirationByFlorna your welcome glad I could help

  • Where did you find the tool to shape the ear wire? I like the ridges on the end of it which would aid in shaping the top of the ear wire. Thanks!

  • @mskaj5 it is a reamer of some sort. I got it so long ago. You can use a pen barrel and the groove end where the cap screws on as well.

  • So glad this helped you. What else did you make?

  • Sorry I have not gotten back to you on you question. Pregnancy and babies have slowed me down.

    Yes any gauge wire will work and once you have made a few pairs it is VERY addictive. I must admit the first few pairs may be a little frustrating but once they come together and look nice you just can;t stop making them.

    I use 19 or 20 gauge wire and full or half hard. If I use half hard I have to tumble harden them after I make them.

  • Very well done! One of the best I've seen. Great job!

  • I really like the way that you do the pair at once, this way they are really identical! Really good tip! Thanks

  • Thanks so much. Very clear instructions. Feels great to know!!!!

  • @sarahdible how do you tumble harden them? is there another way, maybe with a mallet or something?

  • A really easy, effective teaching video--you have a nice calming voice like the "happy little trees" guy. The only criticism is that there is a good bit of waste--I am making my first pairs of earwires out of platinum and I can't cut off big hunks of wire!

    (later) the platinum earwires came out so pretty! I am hanging Longido rubies from them tomorrow. Thank you so much for a good tutorial!

  • AWESOME TUTORIAL! Answered all my questions! THANK YOU!

  • Best tutorial ever. Its clean, simple and most important of all visible. I am so glad I found this. I have a question. How do you make a longer length? Its called kidney ear wire or something (i am not sure) .. it would be great if you could post more tutorials ... this is the best i must say again .. thanks
