Awesome split shank tip from @goldeulejewelry - “Here‘s how I create split shank rings. Instead of fiddling around with a ruler everytime, I found myself an object in my workshop that has the perfect length (in my case my trusty bench peg from @flowstudiosupply), hold the piece of wire against it and mark with a sharpie. I then use my flat nose pliers to bend the wires apart. Sanding discs are a perfect tool to smoothen the inner part of the wires. I use moore‘s snap on sanding discs medium grit.” Amazing tips thank you so much for allowing me to share! We appreciate it! #splitshank #howtomakearing #makingjewelry #jewelrymakingprocess
