[@bbygrl2812]

I’m not much on wearing dangles. I mostly stick to small to medium hoops and studs. But I love these. They are delicate and dainty too! Thanks for sharing

[@danielangom]

They are beautiful. I will give it a try but I wouldn't make a exact copy😅. I will use rhinestone rondelles between the pearls and something different in the middle. I have some little butterflies in clear AB I think that will look great. Thanks for the inspiration and have all a nice day. Stay healthy and save. Love and hugs from Germany, Daniela 🌹🌹🌹

Oh wow those r gorgeous 😍 ❤️ I think I just might be able to make those. I'm just learning. I haven't tried to make anything yet. I 👍 like to watch lots of videos b4 I try a anything

[@JewelSchool]

You can do it!

[@joannemccrary158]

Beautiful designs I just can't see the wire to understand how to follow you.thanks for sharing.

[@lynneramsey5476]

When you started making jewelry, how long did it take you, to feel comfortable making it?

[@marymary5494]

👌💕

[@broberts6897]

Thank you for teaching us. I having a hard bend the head pin wire and twirl around the bead. I’m still learning. Gradually working my way up from stretch cord and memory wire bracelets to learning to make earrings.

[@grannynara]

Great video. Two questions. How to make the same earring but with bead hanging from the top inside the wire, instead of hanging outside the wire. Also, is it possible to make a rounded bottom Marquise earring with the memory wire? Thanks for any tips.

[@journeyhome98]

Super cute! I haven't seen the ear wires made before. You could lose the music in the background. It is a distraction. The video was very well done and I have subscribed.

[@DeborahJohnson-bh9nd]

What tool do you use to file down the cut end of your wire to make it smooth? Can you also use that tool to get rid of burrs on jump rings?

[@ooohlaa13]

can you please show a quick tutorial based on this idea but how to finesse the wire into an oval shape of various sizes. I keep having a hard time getting them to look like each other!

[@emmareddy5776]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. Love the idea of using memory wire to make earrings. Could I make a teardrop shape with this wire?

[@JewelSchool]

Of course you can! You will just need the right shaping tools.

[@allisonkeevers6076]

These would also look good with a head pin loaded with beads hanging from the top loop, so they are encased within the marquise shape.

[@glynisjohnson5534]

Thank you. Great job as always. How are you ?. Its been a while since I have seen your videos. God Bless you

Can you use a one-step Looper on memory wire? Thank you in advance for your answer.

[@JewelSchool]

You cannot. memory wire is tempered steel, so you need tools that are rated for working with stainless steel. www.jtv.com/product/memory-wire-designer-tool-kit-includes-memory-wire-shears-and-finishing-pliers/JSKIT0721?mcid=XSOjsyt

[@doralevitt2879]

This is so awesome, I mean - how many memory wire bracelets can you make?! 🙄😆

[@JewelSchool]

Memory wire is more versatile than people think! We love finding creative ways to use it!

[@doralevitt2879]

@@JewelSchool I'm so glad you did a video on it- thank you!

[@texasmarshalls]

Is that a sterling silver ear wire?

[@artsydancequeen2964]

These earrings are awesome! Can any bail making pliers work with memory wire? Thanks!

[@JewelSchool]

Hi! You can use any type of round plier, but it will be harder to work the wire since it is stainless steel. The memory wire pliers will work best!

[@rosalindalozano233]

I accidently bought memory wire ribbon and absolutely loathe it. Any ideas to create with it?

[@free2danz1960]

What makes looping memory wire so much easier with these beadalon pliers vs regular rounded pliers? Ive read so many reviews on Amazon that stated these pliers broke so easily.

[@JewelSchool]

Great question! Memory wire is a type of steel wire that keeps its cold-forged shape. It's a very hard wire that we call "spring hard." Becuase of this you need specialized memory wire cutters. They are made of stainless steel, the same as the wire. There are memory wire finishing pliers as well that will help you bend the wire easier. As long as you have stainless steel tools, you can work with memory wire! www.jtv.com/product/memory-wire-designer-tool-kit-includes-memory-wire-shears-and-finishing-pliers/JSKIT0721?mcid=XSOjsyt

[@thailstock]

Love this and I’ve done earrings using memory wire, Question is their a good memory wire that doesn’t tarnish because I would sell these earrings, it’s a cheaper version than SS OR 14kt gold filled. Than you

[@JewelSchool]

Memory wire is a type of steel wire used in jewelry making and has a very hard temper so it holds it shape. Most will come with a non-tarnish coating.

[@dianefink1978]

👍👍😀

[@valeriewestmoreland4010]

Great earrings. Have you ever had the memory wire bail (loop maker) bend out of shape? I have a pair I noticed separated at the top. How can I bend it back or are they shot?

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Valerie! We consulted Susan and here is what she said, "I have had that happen. I have bent mine back using a flat nose plier."

[@valeriewestmoreland4010]

@@JewelSchool thank you. I will try that

[@bettywatts1734]

I didnt see how you made the ear wire to far from camera.

[@boobandit13]

Gorgeous thank you! Can you make this so that one can interchange the stone?

[@JewelSchool]

Sure, just wrap the bead how Susan shows you in the video, but don't attach it. After wrapping, you can attach it with a jump ring, so you can take them on and off and change it out with other beads you've wrapped. Also, check out this video on using magnetic clasps on earrings to change out stones. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6GUe5yPh9abe9k

[@lfuentes8891]

Thanks for sharing!... Also, love that copper ring, teach us how to make that!. 💍😍

Hi! The copper colored ring is Susan's "Easy Ring for Every Day" design. She just used a darker colored wire to make it. Here is the tutorial! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2PcY2mqf9tkm6s
