I have seen & used this design before, sorry your not the first 😢 Thank you for this video so others may enjoy it as well :)

[@AllegoryGallery]

That's great that you've used it before! This video is over a year old; we're sure many people have done it since and perhaps before. We just do our best to make jewelry-making accessible to all. We're huge fans of watching multiple people do the same types of designs because you can always learn something new from everyone you watch. We're glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@minkytoms6784]

Thank you for teaching the beautiful earrings. I look forward tp Saturday Video Tutorials, thank you AG 😃

[@AllegoryGallery]

You're welcome, and thank you so much for watching!! We'll have another great earring tutorial coming up next weekend using some waxed linen, so stay tuned!

[@marialabriola3883]

i enjoyed your tutorial vere much. I always wanted to try the herringbone I loved: "they are not twins, but you can tell that they are sisters" Thank you.

[@AllegoryGallery]

Thank you so much for watching, and we're so glad you enjoyed it! We hope you'll take a look at all of our other tutorials and videos! ❤️

[@kristibbradshaw]

I love this.

[@sweetpeagemstones]

What a fantastic video. I loved all the tips and tricks that Jen provided. I wasn't able to catch it live, but loved it. Thank you so much.

[@AllegoryGallery]

Hey Sandra! We're so glad that you enjoyed it! Jenn really did pack a lot of tips and tricks in there! It's like like four mini tutorials in one big tutorial!

[@sweetpeagemstones]

@@AllegoryGallery I thought so too, alot packed into one session. I loved that she wasn't rushed, I have seen other people do videos and they are so rushed and its hard to catch everything. I can't wait for the next video. :) I learned so much from Jen already.

[@cindymoats8518]

This was awesome. I'll try and make a pair soon

[@AllegoryGallery]

Thank you so much, Cindy! We're so glad that you enjoyed it, and we can't wait to see what you make! Hopefully you'll show us in the Allegory Gallery Design Challenges Group on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/allegorygallerydesignchallenges.

[@mawi1172]

Known as Dowel Pliers in the Man Hardware work place, they've become jeweler hardware too. Bail making, dowel pliers, it's a dandy tool!❤❤

[@AllegoryGallery]

Thanks for the crossover info :-) Good to learn something new each day! ❤️

[@katethegreat2222]

I make jewelry but have never made this herringbone style. Love it and thank you for your great lesson. ❤

[@AllegoryGallery]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching, and we hope you also find our other videos and products helpful to you! :-) We're planning a new video tutorial every Saturday Morning, so we hope you'll continue to tune in :-)

[@lynnkeller8187]

Hi every1…I am new to ur channel. I live in Vancouver BC🇨🇦 I LOVED this video. It was not fast or slow, just the right speed, clear & concise instructions. I LOVE these earrings‼️🫶🏻 Thank you William & Jennifer💕

[@AllegoryGallery]

Awesome! Thank you so much for your feedback, and we're so happy that you loved it! We hope you'll love all the Saturday Morning Tutorials coming soon and we thank you for subscribing to our channel!

[@mattlindsayb9856]

I agree and Jenn is very very natural, not "teachy" like shes just thinking out loud... perfect!

[@remysplace]

Good morning everyone! It's 6:30 here in CA

[@AllegoryGallery]

Good Morning, Robyn! Thank you for joining us at that early hour this weekend!

[@michellemay2687]

Thank you, beautiful earrings, great lessons

[@AllegoryGallery]

Thank you, Michelle! 😊 We're so glad you like the project! :-)

[@dianereeserdhap651]

Can't wait to try this. So pretty.

[@AllegoryGallery]

Please do! We can't wait to see how yours turn out! We hope you'll show us in our Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/allegorygallerydesignchallenges

[@celestesanterre796]

Could you include the instructions for the patina? Thanks! Great tutorial!

[@AllegoryGallery]

That would be another tutorial on its own, and we may make one in the future, but we don't have one at this point. We're always looking for suggestions, though, so we'll add this to our list of possible future videos/tutorials :-)

[@Niffer3378]

I use liver of sulfur in hot water. Clean the copper earrings with vinegar (white), rinse & just drop or 2 of liver of sulfur in enough water to cover the earrings. They’ll turn almost immediately, remove…. Rinse & remove excess patina with baking soda, steel wool or polishing cloth.

[@craftnique-Hermy]

I have done this technique with round beads and wasn’t too happy with it. I really like your idea of using the coin bead I love the look! Great tutorial.I am going to give it a try. Looking forward to what you do next Sat.

[@AllegoryGallery]

Thank you so much! We appreciate your feedback and your support! If you attempt doing it, we hope that you'll join our Facebook Group and show us: facebook.com/groups/allegorygallerydesignchallenges

[@janetcarter9975]

Thank you! Great video - very easy to watch ❣️

[@AllegoryGallery]

Thank you so much! We're so glad that you enjoyed it! :-)

[@mattlindsayb9856]

Love this one!!! Love the way you teach it😊

[@AllegoryGallery]

Thanks so much 😊 We're so glad you're enjoying our Saturday Morning Tutorial series!

[@remysplace]

What gauge wire are you using? Beautiful earring💜

[@xochitlvidal2846]

20 gauge dead soft wire.

[@AllegoryGallery]

Hey Robyn, our friend Xochitl already replied, and she's correct. We've also added the list of materials used to the description. We thought we had them there for the premier, but they got left out; we're sorry about that! We hope you enjoyed the tutorial, and if you try to make them, we hope you'll join and show us in our Facebook Group here: facebook.com/groups/allegorygallerydesignchallenges

[@AllegoryGallery]

Thank you so much for coming to the rescue, Xochitl!

[@remysplace]

@@AllegoryGallery great, thanks! I'll check it out when I get home

[@remysplace]

@@xochitlvidal2846 thank you❣️

[@lkanemoto5297]

Love it.... I had a question, can square shape wires be used for the wrap?

[@AllegoryGallery]

We're so glad you loved it! We can't imagine any reason why you couldn't use square wires. It would definitely give you a different look, and you'd just have to make sure that your wires fit through whichever beads you choose to use for your earrings. :-)

[@lisaraynes9228]

I loved this video, you’re a good teacher and thank you! Can I ask what brand/kind are those blue handled pliers holding your jump rings at the end of the video? I love how fine pointed they are!

[@AllegoryGallery]

Thank you so much! We're so glad you enjoyed our video! Those pliers are Xuron-brand, and Jenn often uses three different pliers of theirs. You can get them here through our affiliate links: -Xuron Tweezer-Nose Pliers (amzn.to/3mVrxal) -Xuron Long-Nose Pliers (amzn.to/46aQOPK) -Xuron Short-Nose Pliers (amzn.to/3VfEIQ1)

[@kmccormic]

Are you using dead soft or half hard wire? Do you thing this is possible with half hard?

[@AllegoryGallery]

Jenn normally works with dead soft. It should be possible with half hard, but it’ll be much more difficult to work the wire.

[@gjk540]

Nice earrings--but you're too far from the camera.
