@ikologee I was watching a vid last night and they showed this thing called an Artistic wire and it showed how you can make your own coiled wire. I may look into getting one if I can find one. If I do I will leave a post with the info on how and where to get one.

@moniestreasure I think you are talking about the cream colored chandelier earrings I used 18 gauge on those.

Errr...I find it difficult to keep things short so I'll send you an email - I'm kind of long winded.

@TCCreations67 Thanks TC, China maybe? or you could have them custom made by a machine shop in huge quantities - but thats not for you and me, thats for the big guys with cash and distribution, us lil' guys make our own with a coiling gizmo. See my reply to Ashley below, except try using 18-16 gauge when starting out - it will prepare you for the smaller 22 ish gauge. Hope they turn out great. P.S if you manage to locate pre-made coils - hope you come back and share with us.

@ikologee I found the tool to coil the wire, it is called a Artistic Wire Coiling Gizmo for under $20.00 on Amazon.com. It don't have the clamping thing on it to clamp to a table, but you can buy a C clamp from like Walmart or Homedpot. I ordered one and I'll post how it worked out.
