Hey everyone! In this tutorial, I’m excited to show you how to create wire work ear cuffs. This project is a bit more intricate than usual, but trust me, these cuffs are just as enjoyable to wear as they are to make! You’ll learn how to form the frame to fit your ear shape, create the frame itself, add base wires, weave intricate wire patterns, and set the accent gemstones using the wire coil method. If you’re not comfortable with setting un-drilled gemstones, feel free to use drilled beads instead. Hope you like it! Leave a comment below if you have any questions. :)
