Thanks Heather! Should I hammer after making ear wires to set the shape?

@HeatherBoydWire 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you can hammer the wire with a rawhide mallet. I should have suggested that and will add it to the description. THANK YOU.

Awesome simple hoops. Sorry miss you today, morning comes way too early when I have been up past 4am lately. What I did with my hoops the other day, was while they were still wrapped around the bottle I took my pliers to make many tiny kinks in them, that make them actually look more shiny. I made mine with 18 g copper. ☺♥

Cool hoops, Heather! What type of wire would you suggest for people with sensitive ears (my sister has to buy nickel-free earings), and what hardness? I don't feel like I have a good understanding of wire options.

@HeatherBoydWire 2 жыл бұрын

You can use 1/2 hard sterling or Argentium silver. I have bought it on Etsy before.

Love this!!!! I made these with the same18 guage wire but when they are removed they lose there shape. I will be selling these so I really need something that holds its shape. Do I need german style medium temper wire? Its supposed to hold its shape? And if so can you get that type through your pierced ear? Hope this makes sense LOL!!!

@HeatherBoydWire 9 ай бұрын

Hi Jennie: I use Artistic wire for my samples but if you are going to wear or sell diy earring hooks you need to use hypo-allergenic wire. I use 1/2 hard 20 gauge Argentium wire for my higher end jewelry that I sell. You can also use surgical or stainless steel in 22 gauge. Please do not put German wire or coated wire in your ears!
