Steps to Make Hollow Ear Cuffs for Jewelry


Make an ear vine or Hollow Ear Cuff instead of putting on regular earrings to brighten your ears. An ear vine is definitely an extension of decorative wire that coils up out of your ear piercing, while a cuff sits around the cartilage of the ear and does not need a piercing hole.

Measure and cut single-inch period of hypo-allergenic 21-gauge, half-hard jewelry wire, using wire blades. Half-hard wire is created particularly for jewelry wire-working. It's strong, yet pliable enough to bend with tools.

File the perimeters from the cut finishes to round them off so that they will not scratch your ears. Wipe the finishes having a moist cloth to get rid of the filing dust.

Grip one finish from the wire within the tip from the jaws of a set of round-nose pliers. Rotate the finish to create a loop and also to eliminate the cut finish from the wire. Perform the same to another finish from the wire.

Grip the center of the wire around the largest area of the jaws from the round-nose pliers and bend the wire to produce a "U" shape. Slide the wire from the round-nose pliers.

Bend the center of the "U" shape on the round form like a ring mandrel to create a cuff that's about 3/8 inch across, by having an opening between your finishes that's about 1/8 inch.

Slip the cartilage of the ear although the opening within the wire Hollow Ear Cuff and squeeze looped finishes from the cuff behind the ridge inside fringe of your ear. This makes the cuff remain in place.
