You're a good teacher I like the way you teach
Lovely, Lisa.. thank you! 🤗
Great tutorial! Thank you Lisa.
You always make it look so easy
Thank You Sister for blessing us all on this page and remember you reap what you sow, so expect blessings... Thank You Lisa & Praise the Lord!
Beautiful job and wonderful explanation! I'm happy to see that you make your wraps the same way I do: by keeping the round-nose pliers inside the loop while wrapping the wire. That helps to maintain the shape of the loop. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you. beautiful job
Wow..you are such a gorgeous and creative lady xx

Hi, just bought a bunch of sterling silver-filled and gold-filled wire from you guys, can you please make a video showing what it'll look like when I get it? Thank you, I love your vids and business😊
Thank you for watching and your order. We'll keep that in mind.
@@FireMountainGems thank you!
Lisa why don' t you use "Stepped Round and Chain Nose Wire Wrapping Pliers Jewelry Making Tools"?
Thanks for this- very clear. Is it OK to use a plated wire (like German style silver plated wire) for ear wires?
Yes, you can. For those individuals that are sensitive to metals plated wire isn't the best material to use, however.
@@FireMountainGems Thank you for the reply! That was one of my concerns (I'm new to jewelry-making) - this is very helpful in deciding what to keep on hand. Have a nice day!
Can I use galvanized wire?
Yes, you can.
Hello. Are your wires soft or half hard?
Hello. The ear wires created in this video were created with half hard wire.
@@FireMountainGems thank you a lot. How about the pins? Do you think 7mm soft silver wires would be too soft for using as pins and making circles on the bead to attach them to the hooks?
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖
is the wire full hard?
The wire used in the video is half-hard.
Full hard? Half hard? Dead soft?
Hi. Since dead soft is very malleable, you wouldn't want to use that tempered wire. Now, half-hard wire is also malleable but it can be hardened to be less malleable but not as hard as full hard wire. So, you can use half hard or full hard to make these and other ear wires. However, if your earring project is kind of a weighty one, you'd be better off using full hard.
