Making Ear Wires From Sterling Silver Wire A Tutorial

[@notebookluvr]

Thanks for sharing. Do you know how to make earwires that have a latch for the open hoop type earrings? I'm not sure how else to describe it. If so, do you have, or can you make a tutorial for them? TIA

what type of wire? what gauge? hard, 1/2 hard or dead soft?

20 gauge, hardness doesn't really matter as long as it is soft enough to take the curves without springing back. In the end you can harden the ear-wires by tumbling in stainless shot for at least 4 hours.
