Thanks Jim. Perfect timing for this video. I just purchased several earring sets. So glad these can be done cold.
Glad to help!
I love your wire wrap pliers. They make wire wrapping so much easier.
I'm so happy that you are enjoying them. Thank you.
Thanks for a thorough and informative tutorial. Been so curious and this was excellent. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
I love your t-shirt! Great videos! I am inspired!
Thanks. I like funny shirts
I just got a really beautiful pair of matching yellow sapphire trillion shaped rosecuts, but they are very small. I'm going to attempt to modify this technique by scaling it down because I think they would look awesome set like this
That sounds beautiful! Please let me know how it turns out.
Love this technique. One more way I can set the cabochons that I make!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.
Beautiful! You're the best. I'll say it again, the wire wrap pliers are a MUST! I love them.
Thank you for your kind word. I'm glad that the Pliers are working out for you.
Great style of teaching
Thank You
Like you said, this is very versatile! Looking forward to using this basic method on other cabochon styles and on pendants.
Awesome! I am so glad that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Love your style and how you show little tricks that make a big difference. Thank you so much for sharing, the earrings are beautiful
Thank you very much for your kind words. Its my desire that everyone knows everything on making wire jewelry. It's been a great artform for me over the years and i know that everyone who wants to make jewelry can.
Love the descriptions, the how’s and why’s! You are a terrific instructor!!! Thank you. Stay safe and healthy ♥️🌈🦋🌷🍭
Thank you very much and thank you for watching
Your work is amazing sir. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words.

I Absolutely Love these earrings. Such a simple design but make's a powerful statement. Thank's so very much Jim for sharing this with us. 💜💜💜
I'm really glad that you liked them. Thank you for watching
Great job Jim. Thanks for all your Videos. BTW, I've given your pliers away as gifts. Christmas is on the way everyone. They make great gifts. Especially to new students.
Thank you very much, sir. I agree, they do make great gifts.
beautiful
Thank you very much
I know this vid was from a year ago... but I was wondering if you remembered what kind of wire you used? I have coated copper wire, and if I filed or Dremel'd the prong tips... the coating would come off and then the copper would darken... and I think it'd look a little strange. Thanks for the videos you put out! I'm a newbie... and I appreciate your teaching style. 😊
In the video I am using 18 gauge Dead Soft Square wire. You're right about the coated wire, shaping the prong tips would look odd due to it being a different color than the rest of the wire. If you need 18 gauge wire, we carry some great copper wire on our website (wirearteducation.com) Thank you for your kind words.
Cool 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖
Thank you very much for watching
Great video! The sanding discs are no longer available at the link.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I'll look around for another supplier of those polishing discs
Hi Jim, I love your designs and have been practicing them on anything I can find! I have been using aluminum, copper, and craft store wire but feel I am ready to progress to the real deal. I am on a very limited income however so I wanted to know what size wire I should get to start. I want to get one square and one half round to start and add to my stash every month if I can. Would silver filled be a good option for me?
It all depends on what you are making and what style you are doing. If your doing some of the prong set (also known as wiresmithed) pieces then I would get 18 gauge square and half round. If you're making traditional wire wrapped pieces I would use 22 gauge square and half round.
My basic rule when buying wire is to buy half the amount of half round wire. That means if i buy 1 ounce of square wire, I buy 1/2 ounce of half round wire. I ope this helps. If you need any more help please let me know...I'm happy to help.
@@JimMcIntosh That does, a lot. Thanks for responding so quickly!
If you don’t have square wire for the prongs can you use round?
You sure can
Hi, I just came across your page and really love how you work and teach, I am also trying to get the "The Beadsmith WrapMaker Plier" from your page and it is showing me an error message and can not find the pliers at Amazon.

@@JimMcIntosh Thank you for answering and for the info... I am trying to make this earings... and already have a list of all of your pieces I'll like to replicate... LOL
Hi Jim love the earrings, where can I get the cabachon.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching. I got my fossilized palm wood cabs from a vendor that I found on Instagram. Unfortunately I can't remember who it was....sorry. Just do a search on Instagram for the cabs and see what you can find, that's how I found them.
Thank you for information
Hi Jim

Good question....you can get copper wire from my website (wirearteducation.com)...I purchase sterling silver from Rio Grande
