Thank you. Fun earring to create. Enjoy listening to your gentle / calm voice as well.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful. Miyuki seed beads are very uniform in shape/size and would be perfect for projects where uniformity is important. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! Miyuki beads are wonderful in that regard. ❤️
so cute!, love them...added to my make for me list
So glad you like them. Happy weaving!
I love these can't wait to try my hand @ a pair of these ,thanks so much .
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
I hope all is well. I’m looking forward to your next video.
Thank you! I hope to get back to making videos very soon. In the meantime, thanks so much for supporting my channel.
Thanks Wendi! I was waiting for this
You're very welcome! I apologize for the long delay. Things have been a little crazy in my little world lately, but I'm back to work full time now.
Thanks for your videos! These are beautiful! You’re a picky jeweler and Im learning quality from them.
LOL! I am indeed a picky jeweler. One of my goals when I started this channel was to help makers improve the quality of their work. So, I'm very pleased to hear that I've achieved that goal. Thank you for that. 🤗
It looks like this might be a good project to start wireweaving with. I'm a sead beader wanting to start working with wire as well, so maybe I'll give this project a go. The threading of the bead is done in the same manner with beading thread, so I'm already familiar with that. Let's hope this is a good beginner project. As a detail oriented person myself, I really appreciate your methodic, step-by-step instructions. Thanks so much!
Hi, @luckysuzful This is a perfect project to start with. I started out my own jewelry-making journey (decades ago) as a bead weaver, so I naturally adapted a lot of those same techniques to wirework. And I still love seed beads, so I frequently integrate them into my wirework as well. All of that to say that I think you'll find that beading and wirework techniques blend really well together. Enjoy!
Love it!
I'm so happy to hear that. Thanks for watching!
So pretty! Love the look and thank you for your time in showing us how you made these earrings!
You're very welcome, Mary. Thanks for watching!

Hi! Very interesting and easy well explained.vplease let me know how you made the loops for the ears I really would love to learn that too thanks
Hi! I'm so glad you enjoyed this tutorial. You'll find the video tutorial for the big loop ear wires here: czcams.com/video/IOak57BZpbI/video.html
if you are having trouble making this ear wire could you put a jump ring on the loops and add and add an ear wire to that?
Absolutely! That will look just as beautiful and it is an easy substitute for the handmade ear wire.
Beautiful. I've made some a bit like this but not as detailed. I will try these. What kind of pliers do you use? I need some with the thinner tips like yours.
Hi, Michelle. I use Swanstrom pliers, which I bought from Rio Grande (not sponsored). You can browse their selection of Swanstrom pliers here: www.riogrande.com/landing/swanstrom
