    These were some of my first earrings I ever made.. had to get a lil creative cause all I had were these little round flat 10mm painted coconut shell beads that had a center top hole but after some trial and error, figured out how to make it work. Have gotten soo many compliments on them! I biggest issue is making the top spiral a little open but still mostly even so it actually looks good, for attaching the earwire. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

    Before purchasing any other supplies though, I would try to make a couple more pairs and see if you get different results. A lot of jewelry making is just practice and the more you work with a material, the easier it is to make it do what you want.

  • @beadaholique
    @beadaholique  11 лет назад

    Hi! I am sorry you are having troubles with the spirals. My best guess is that there is just a difference between the artistic wire and the square german wire - perhaps it is springier or does not hold it's shape as well? To get my spirals to lay flat, I really just pushed them against the stone and they stayed in place; this makes me think that it is perhaps the wire itself causing the different results.

  • @beadaholique
    @beadaholique  11 лет назад

    Over time, the silver plating can wear off. If you want a more durable finish, try silver filled or even sterling silver.

  • @lynettemckone918

    What a gorgeous pair of earings !! If u do not have that kind of texture wire, if you hammered the wire, could u get a similar result ? P.s. Now I have a new style for gifts!!! You deserve ★★★★★!!

    • @beadaholique
      @beadaholique  10 лет назад

      Cynthia Chambers Thanks for the compliments! You can definitely create a similar pair of earrings to these using regular, non-textured wire. If you want to add texture to the wire, you will only want to after you have made your spirals. If you hammer the wire beforehand, it will work harden it and you will not be able to make it swirl like shown in the video.

    looooooooooove it!!! im getting into wiring, done some rings now i have all sorts of ideas to do with the spiral. question, does the spiral ever come loose or sort of out of shape if used with a larger stone like that? im assuming we should use the thicker wire if we use larger beads? or stones?

    • @beadaholique
      @beadaholique  10 лет назад +2

      Thanks! This particular wire is very strong and does not bend out of shape for this bead but you are absolutely right, if you have a larger, and thus heavier bead or stone, you will want to make sure that you use a heavier gauge (thicker) wire to accommodate it. I have a friend who is particularly rough on her jewelry and I use her as my tester for my jewelry. So if I am trying out a new design that I think I want to make a lot of for sale at art fairs, I give her a free sample and have her wear it around for a week or two. She then reports back to me any design flaws.

    Hi Julie
    I used 18g copper wire to make the spirals. The problem that I have is that the wire keeps turning in the pliers so I struggle to make a spiral. I've tried with nylon pliers -also had a problem and also tried with chain nose pliers.
    I also find that the chain nose pliers mark the copper wire from all the attempts at making a spiral.
    Any suggestions.
    Many thanks
    Terry van der Peet

    • @beadaholique
      @beadaholique  3 года назад

      What I'd suggest is wrapping the ends of your pliers in something with just a bit of grip. We've used masking tape (also called painter's tape or paper tape in the US) for this and had it work well. A pair of metal flat nose pliers would probably be best for this, but you can try it on your chain nose pliers too.
