Earring Hook Tutorial

This is a simple tutorial on my way make a earring hook by wire.
Material:
Artistic Wire 20 Ga
Tools needed:
Round nose
Chain Nose
Cutter
Nylon Jaws Pliers
Pen
Optional tools:
Wire Rounder
Chase Hammer
Metal Block
1. Straighten the wire by Nylon Jaws Pliers 2. Make a loop by round nose
3. left approx. 5cm to make the hook (the length depand on the size of your hook)
4. We need 2 to form a pair of hook
5. Put 2 wires together and form hook by a pen (or any round shape object).
(Note: i'll always make 2 together, in order to have same size, same shape's pair)
6. Round the wire like this
7. Slightly bend the wire at suitable spot
8. Cut the excess wire... tata... earring hook done
Optional steps:
to prevent your pretty face and skin being scracth by the wire (my main purpose), you may use wire rounder to de-bur the sharp end of wire.
flatten the wire by chase hammer and mental block to add some little pattern.
now we have a pretty earring hook~~~

Clip on Earring II

上篇讲到我要test Clip on Earring 的耐度,看会不会掉,以下是结果:-
佩戴时间:01/08 (11.30am) to 02/08 (6.30pm)
地点:家里+外面吃东西
结论:
1. 掉了3次,两次是用毛巾擦脸后拉到,一次在外面放下bag时弄到。
2. 午觉,晚上睡觉到早上都没有掉.
3. 我的皮肤会敏感的,平时只能带金或银的耳环,戴这个没有敏感。
基本上就算是耳勾被拉到时都会掉,所以它的效果还算是可以接受啦。。
I've tested on the clip on earring that made yesterday morning and is the result:-
Wearing date and time: 01/08 (11.30am) to 02/08 (6.30am)
Vanue: home and restaurant for dinner
Conclusion:
1. the earring has drop 3 times, 2 times drop while i wide my face with towel where another 1 while i'm putting down my bag in restaurant.
2. i've been wore it for a nap and sleep overnight, it remain on my ear.
3. No sentitive problem as normally i was sentitive to the material other than real gold or silver.
It's result was acceptable and satisfactory ^.^

Clip On Earring

I've got this pattern and technique from a book. A clip on earring made by cooper wire, which is suitable to those who have no earring hole or with sensitive skin.
这个款式和技巧是从书上学来的。用铜线拗成的夹式耳环,非常适合没有耳洞或容易敏感的人。Side view. techniques to make these 2 pairs of earring is quite different due to the shape of beads, which the back of pearls are round, whereas the back of rose beads are flat.
从侧面来看,其实制作这两对耳环的技巧会有点不同,原因就在珠珠的背后也是圆形的,而玫瑰花的背后是平的。这些技巧可是在浪费了不少线材之后才领悟到的。
I'll wearing this earring for whole day long to test for its durability, stay tuned for the result.
佩戴夹式耳环其实很怕会掉,所以今天我会一整天戴着,以测试它的耐度, 敬请期待下回分解。
