Elegant Swirl Earrings - Jewelry Making Tutorial for Beginners

These swirly earrings are simple, elegant, and perfect for beginners!

🔨Materials:
- 2x 7" piece of 18g (1mm) soft copper, brass, sterling silver or filled wire (you can also use plated wire but you'll have to skip the hammering step)
- 4x 4" pieces of thin copper wire (26g-28g/ 0.3-0.4mm) I'm using 2 pieces of 28g and 2 pieces of 26g
- Beads to decorate
-Earring hooks
-Pliers: Chain Nose, Round Nose
-Wire Cutters
-Anvil/Hammering Block and Jewelry Hammer (I'm using a half dome chasing hammer and mini anvil, available in my recommended tool list!)

Thanks so much for all the sharing of your creations. I have followed you for a while and love your work. I had to laugh because it am a lover of the topaz and Colorado browns. That’s probably why get the good bids on these colors. They all go so well with coppers and brass bronze wires. Remember all you gentle creators make sure you subscribe to all your interest. It does help these lovely creators.

[denisebiancardi]

Thank you so much for that tip on hammering. I did not know that and was getting ready to attempt some type of project with metal so again thank you for that.

I want to start making wire jewelry, but need to invest in some good-quality wire. Can you recommend any brands that are available in the USA will not tarnish?

[COEYRN]

I'm making this for my friend. She can't stop talking about her new kitten.
She's originally a dog person. At first she said no cat jewellery. A month later she asked if I could make a sign saying, "Cats choose us; we don't own them."
So I have a good feeling she will love this. Reminds me of your mushroom pendant. So mNy people liked them, I don't gave one for myself 😢

[michellekrumenacher]

So talented! I am new to jewelry making and you are explaining things so clearly. Can I sell the jewelry I make using some of your designs?

I have 18g copper wire but mine seems to be much more flimsy than yours?? Why is that??
