I round the end that goes through the ear with a wire end rounder (cup burr)to make them comfortable to insert, and make up 20 or 30 pairs at a time so I always have some on hand.<br /><br />This color combination is lovely; what is the bead color that you've used?slkunzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223416412030879113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403653062797003205.post-1281536786810192162012-07-26T06:32:24.385-05:002012-07-26T06:32:24.385-05:00Hmmm... interesting thought on making the earwires...Hmmm... interesting thought on making the earwires.

I love the earrings. Although I would put them on earwires with no bead or spring - I think they distract from your lovely earring. I suggest a simple handmade earwire with one of those beads from the center - it will make them look 100% custom (which they would be!)Lisa Yang Jewelryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16851061995303198057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403653062797003205.post-2410189450091401072012-07-25T22:36:44.018-05:002012-07-25T22:36:44.018-05:00Very beautiful and subtle...I love this setVery beautiful and subtle...I love this setAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401387492764305197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403653062797003205.post-91777943292104137602012-07-25T20:51:38.978-05:002012-07-25T20:51:38.978-05:00I love the beads.
