Post a Tip about this Tutorial

I've never heard of "DEAD HARD" wire... do you mean "DEAD SOFT" or "HALF HARD"?
Also does this tutorial teach the teardrop earwire or is this a purchased component? If purchased, do you suggest a supplier? Thanks for your replies!

Dear jWolfie,Thank you VERY much for you message. I will correct this information.
0.9, 0.8 half hard round silver wire and 0.5, 0.25 dead soft round silver wire.If you have any question, please write me.
All the best,
Zyta

Hello, this earring design is gorgeous! Can this be done without using butane torch?

Thank you Molecule. You have to close 2 forms. For this you need butane torch BUT if you don't have butane torch you can do loop...and will be ok.
