While I know about that elongated herringbone technique, I prefer yours! This is the simple, elegant and quick design I was looking for; thank you so much for these awesome tutorials!
Heather, I am so very confused about all of the strengths of wire. Hard, half hard, dead soft etc. Anything you can do to help me figure out what's what and when to use each type?
Some wire are indicated and some are not. The Artistic wire is more on the soft side, but not dead soft. I use harder wire for ring bands and simple shapes. The softer wire is easy easier to bend and better for more detailed pieces with a lot of bending/twisting/weaving and wrapping. Half hard wire is harder to bend. You can use it when you want a stiffer wire that holds it's shape better.
Here is a PDF with my favourite wire and tools. I buy many of my supplies on Amazon or Etsy: drive.google.com/file/d/1eh8KeInrPFPvJQ4WpiGazRpo1n31y0dM/view?usp=sharing
Hi Zoe: It really depends on your materials, where you are selling, your clientele and your display/presentation. You can look on Etsy or in shops for similar items to have an idea for pricing. Simple earrings like this can be anywhere between $10-20 or even more or less depending if you use copper or sterling wire and if you use semi precious beads. My friend Dave has a Facebook group where you can ask questions about selling: facebook.com/groups/474991183209356 Good luck.
I appreciate the time and effort for the tutorial but maybe it's just me but I feel like I am a 3-year-old being taught to tie my shoe. I can't do the cringey long drawn out words of explanation.
Thank you for showing me how to make earrings properly ❤😅🎉🥰💗🇺🇲☕☕👍👋
You are very welcome!

Thanks Joan. I have seen this look before although I'm not sure if there is an official technique to it. Have fun if you make some!
Love how you make it so easy to follow. I'm making these as Christmas gifts. Thank you
Thanks Mary. Have fun with the earrings. I'm sure the gifts will be much appreciated.
Thank you once again for sharing your abundant talent. I think I liked the first one the best, because of the lower drop.
Thanks so much Randy. People love minimalist earrings!
I have a question! Have you ever made ear cuffs of any sorts? I’ve always loved your tutorials and have been very cottagecore inspired. Thank you! 🍀
Thanks so much. I have 3 videos with ear cuffs here: www.youtube.com/@HeatherBoydWire/search?query=ear%20cuff
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ❣️....
I have to make those.... They are so beautiful 💕
Thank you Brandy. Have fun if you make them.

Hello
Hi Susan.
@@HeatherBoydWire 😹😹😹I came on the live but I missed it. A couple minutes late! 😿I love these earrings. 💝🥰

I'm not sure what you are trying to express. You can change the playback speed in settings if you want to watch the video in fast motion.
