Hammered Wire and Bead Earrings

I got a wire jig before Christmas, but it took me a while to get it out to start making my own ear wires. I got the hang of it after a few tries, and I'm hooked! I haven't tried using it for other parts of the design yet. I added some colorful gemstones and crystals for some interesting designs!

I knew there was a reason I needed a jig! Gotta get one. Forming earwires by hand is so gruesome!

Yep, I highly recommend it! It only takes a few seconds.
