For anyone reading this in January of 2023, the 0.8 gauge wire US equivalent is 20 gauge round. This video doesn’t mention a hardness and all I could find was a medium temper. This was an issue for me and I saw that someone else had asked this question in the comments. I hope this answer is helpful.
OMG!!!!!!! I was so ready to give up on ever learning to make a pair of herringbone earrings after trying half a day with someone elses' instructions. I am so glad that I kept looking for another video. Yours is the easiest one I found.I want to start right now but I have an appt but as soon as I walk in the door I will be getting started. For my USA sisters the gauges are 20 gauge and 26 gauge. LET'S GET STARTED
I ABSOLUTELY HATE WHEN THEY JUST ACT LIKE ANYONE WILL UNDERSTAND HOW TO TURN THE INSTRUCTIONS INTO GAUGES !!! WHAT THE HELL IS THE A FOR ?? JUST MAKE IT EASIER FOR ALL AND LIST UT IN YOUR DIRECTIONS. I WENT TO CLICK ON THE INSTRUCTIONS THEN GOT BEYOND FRUSTRATED BECAUSE SHE LISTED ALL AND PUT AN A IN FRONT IF EACH ONE.... WTH DOES THAT MEAN ! NOW I DONT EVEN WANT TO SEE HER VIDEO . DAMM JUST LIST BOTH SO WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND FORTH LIKE A YO YO!
I have never attempted wire wrapping a herringbone design as it always looked too complicated. However, your tutorial is so easy to follow and you make it look so easy. I also love your calming voice as you patiently explain your technique. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge 💜
You have to be the best instructor that I have seen on RUclips. The instructions are so clear, your voice is lovely and the earrings are gorgeous. Thank you so much.
The Herringbone style is the most beautiful and elegant design ever, and it is my favorite one by far more than any other!!! And, you certainly make it such an easy pattern to follow and successfully accomplish Katie, thank you for that!!!🐟🐠❤
New subscriber here! Not only do I adore your work, but your voice is also very soothing and precise. I am hearing impaired, and my hearing aids don't respond to certain voice tones so it's going to be a pleasure...comfortable pleasure to learn from you. Glad youtube finally showed me your videos!
Thank you for a Clear explaination . I am beginner where still learn about size of wire etc. Your herringbone earring design is beautiful n easy to follow. I made one already n I love it. Thank you ❤️Warm regards from Taiwan 🇹🇼
These are beautiful. I’m planning to get into jewelry making hopefully to make enough to afford a home which I do not currently have. I’ve just subscribed and liked this video. Thank you so much for demonstrating the herringbone technique.
I have watched a number of herringbone tutorials and yours is the most understandable. I'm confident that I can create these based on this tutorial. Thank you!
Great instructor and a beautiful earring! Thank you for explaining so well how to make this plus your up close demonstration was awesome. I’m going to make a pair!
Earlier in the year I made some herringbone shungite earrings for my friend's birthday - she loves them so much she never takes them off. Now, thanks to your video, I've made her a new pair (for Xmas) as per yours - I think she's going to love them! Thank you so much - your explanations are clearer than any I've seen previously too. Think I'll make myself a pair today too - or remake my favourite ones into your herringbones. Just beautiful. 👌💕
Wow you make it look so easy and neater than other herringbone style . I was pulling my hair out because all others a loop was bigger than the other or the twist was uneven.
Hi Katy ur work is so nice ..when useing wire with tools ...how do I stop the pliers from marking my very thin wire plz thank you x I keep getting small dints in my wire love x
I really enjoyed the tutorial i have made something like these but a long time ago and without the extra bead top and bottom i will try my best to make these xxx
I love this video! I am going to start today trying to make these gorgeous earrings. I am having trouble with understanding the measurements of the 20 gauge wire. I think the 26 gauge is 30 centimeters. Could somebody let me know the correct length of each wire?
@@katieparkerjewellery7277 thank you Katie. I have that information and wrote it down. What I need to know is how long the wire is. I need to know length of the shorter wire and I think I heard 30 cm long on second wire. I love your work! I watch you everyday.
I have watched the same 4 seconds of video at least 50 times trying to figure out how this piece gets flipped around. 2:35 - 2:39. I am so lost and confused about she goes from bead on tail side, and on the left with working wire on the bottom to "what I want it to do is come from the top" ... She flips it around somehow and has the bead above the wrap, with the working wire "coming from the left, over the top of base wire and "from the top" to begin wrapping. I have wasted more wire trying to get this configuration and finally gave up assuming it must be error on my part or hers. It's a real shame because I love this earring but simply can't figure out that little flip around that happens at 2:37. : ( However many times I try and do it over and over again, I seem to have the exact opposite of what she has, but exactly the same every time.
Don't know if you figured this out but I see where the confusion would be. What she is saying is once you trace the wire along the bead wrap 2x. Then flip, trace the otherside of the bead again and cross the wire over the top of the base wire (3:45) mark. The wrapping wire should always go over the top of the base wire to wrap. DO NOT pull the wrapping wire under the base wire and wrap. Cross the wrapping wire over the top of the base wire and wrap next to the first wrap 2x flip and repeat. So just make sure you all ways place the wrapping wire crossing over the base wire when you flip. Trace the bead with the wire and repeat until you have 5 wraps. Hope this is helpful to you or someone else having the same question.
Yes, I mostly use UK terms as I’m from the U.K. In my most recent videos I do try to include US Terms too. Here are all the conversions. Thank you 😊 0.25mm - 30 AWG 0.4mm - 26 AWG 0.6mm - 22 AWG 0.8mm - 20 AWG 0.9mm - 19 AWG 1mm - 18 AWG 1.25mm - 16 AWG 1.5mm - 14 AWG 2mm - 12 AWG

Definitely the easiest to understand video on the herringbone wrap. 🙏🏻
I appreciate that! Thank you ☺️
That was very easy to understand and turned out beautifully !!! 💙😇💙

Thank you. I’ve been looking for a herringbone tutorial and yours is fantastic. What is the American equivalent for 0.8 and o.4?
merci pour votre tuto si bien expliqué. les boucles d oreilles sont élégantes j adore
Thank you very much 😊

Linda Wakeen thank you 😊
Thank you for the tutorial, do you use half-hard wire for the base and soft wire for the wrapping? Best regards from Denmark
Yes that will work fine
What does AWG mean in measurements please?
AWG stand for American Wire Gauge
Question: 8mm wire converted into gauge is what gauge?
what is the length of the 0.8mm wire did you use?
About 15 to 18cm 😊

@@katieparkerjewellery7277 Sorry, but what are the 2 wire sizes for the Herring bone earrings?
@@susan1948utube 0.4mm and 0.8 mm they are written in the description under the video
@@katieparkerjewellery7277 thanks, I looked but didn't see it there.
I’ve tried making herringbone earrings several times and mine always look horrible 😂
i wish you could say inches, and gauges instead of mm :(
Earrings are beautiful
You have a cliché problem with your videos. When you are doing a particular step your video gets blurry and we are unable to see what you did. This happens often.
Saying "9.8" instead of the guage is 😕
Would it be so hard to just say the gauges? 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Beautiful!! Thank you!!!
