I partnered with @lindstromtools today to show off how to make your own earring wires. These are intentionally simple, add your own pizazz! I also highly recommend experimenting with copper wire if you have some
on hand and then move on to silver once you are confident in your forming! The @lindstromtools flush cutters are RX8160 they have been a game changer (they cut up to 14g softer metals), I love these stubby flat nose pliers so much they are RX7390 and last but not least I used the round-nose RX7590 they are all available at @riogrande 🥳 Also if you don’t have a dapping set there are plenty of other tools that can be used to form the larger bends. 🙌 #sponsored #jewelrytutorial #makingjewelry #metalsmithsocietyshare #riojeweler #lindstrom
