Just a tip....When using a One Step Looper and making both ends looped for links with straight wire, ( Not a head pin ) you do NOT have to stick wire all the way through the second hole..you just waste wire that way. You would only stick the wire right past the first hole so only the tip gets cut off.
I love using using the memory wire. I have used rondelles, crystals, and heishi beads. They come out so cute but I love the second style. I'm gonna try making those next 😍

Memory wire is a "hard" stainless steel wire that it cold forged to hold its shape. It is mostly used for earrings, necklaces and bracelets that need to hold their shape, especially when adding beads. Memory wire requires special stainless steel tools for cutting and bending. A gauged wire will be a malleable wire that is more suitable for wire wrapping and/or bending. Depending on the project and bead size, you would choose a half-hard or dead-soft wire. If a gauged wire isn't .925 sterling, Gold or bare copper, meaning pure, then it will be a base metal with usually a non-tarnish coating. Check out these videos on the different wire types from Susan! All About Different Wire for Jewelry Making: th-cam.com/video/tAZFeAQ8iIE/w-d-xo.html The Basics of Wire Hardness: th-cam.com/video/skSGL1vbNH8/w-d-xo.html The tutorial for the earrings Katy is wearing is coming soon! It's basically placing a variation of long and short eye pins on a jump ring and connecting them to making a dangle earring.
Hi! This will depend on the type of crystal you are wrapping. If they are natural, prismatic crystals, then it could be the hardness is low. Crystals like fluorite can easily break if worked too hard. They also can crack with sudden temperature changes and any kind of cleaning agent that isn't mild soap and water. When you get your crystals for wrapping, just do a little research on it before you begin. Try this site: gemstones.com Fluorite, calcite, beryls (aqua, emerald, morganite) are all softer gemstones. You can wrap them, but have to be extremely careful!
The large focal bead is a 14X8mm simulated turquoise bead. Here is the link: www.jtv.com/product/blue-turquoise-simulant-elliptical-shaped-bead-strand-set-of-5-appx-14-15-/JLW12223?mcid=XSOjsyt The other beads range from 2-4mm.
The one-step looper can be a bit tricky. It takes a bit of practice, but one thing is to make sure you leave a slight amount of room between the bead and the looper. That should give your tool enough room to finish the loop with the wire. You may have to go in and manually close it with a chain nose. That just happens sometimes. We like the fact that you don't have to create all the loops by hand, especially on larger projects!
From Katy: Hi there! I am not sure what you are asking exactly - are you talking about a necklace or earrings? My guess is you haven’t finished off the end tightly enough - maybe there is extra wire that could’ve been pulled tighter? Happy to help if you give me more details!
Hi! It comes out in a small piece that you can save and use for other things. take a look at the video at this current time code: th-cam.com/video/IzkyOcMvHMo/w-d-xo.html You will notice the wire still sticking out of the looper after the cuts it. You just pull that out and save it!
Anyone else NEED that looper because I do! These are so pretty. I’m definitely gonna try both designs with my own style.
They work great
i have one. I love it!
Very beautiful thank you for teaching
thank you so much for your prompt reply God bless you again i love your work
Thank you so much for showing two different ways of making these beautiful earrings!
Super pretty and looks easy enough with the right tools.
Just a tip....When using a One Step Looper and making both ends looped for links with straight wire,
( Not a head pin ) you do NOT have to stick wire all the way through the second hole..you just waste wire that way. You would only stick the wire right past the first hole so only the tip gets cut off.
Thanks for this great tutorial. I love the trick with jumprings. I only used 1 8mm. This is so good!
So very cute!!! I cannot wait to try it myself!!!💜💜💜
I love using using the memory wire. I have used rondelles, crystals, and heishi beads. They come out so cute but I love the second style. I'm gonna try making those next 😍
These are so pretty! Thank you for sharing! 💜
Thank you! I wasn't sure how to make the advanced earring and this has really helped me! I also have a one step looper, but forgot how to use this.
I’ve been making this type of earrings for awhile but I need to learn about Germaine style wire ! 🤟🏻❤️💋
What a great video. It makes me want to get in to making earrings again
I love the pattern how you sell beads and wire
Thank you Katy for you prompt reply i will look in to the wed site you gave me have a wonderful and bless day

Great video. Thank you!
Looove this tutorial!
Do you have a recommendation on just how much to hammer German wire for a hoop that will hold its shape?
A light hammer should do it! Other wise you will start to flatten it.
@@JewelSchool Terrific - thank you!
Is there a way to make these in a way that doesn’t have the loops and jump rings in the top so it looks completely circular?
I have tried and tried.

What's the difference between memory wire and gauge wire??

I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong when wire wrapping crystals. I always seem to chip them. Any help would be appreciated. 😊

@@JewelSchool thank you so much for your help! :-)
Hi can you please tell how much wire to cut thank you so much i really want to try them to give as a gift to my granddaugther blessing for all
This is memory wire, so just wrap cut two segments the same size leaving a slight gap. Hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/IzkyOcMvHMo/w-d-xo.html
Hi this is Raquel thank you for you prompt reply once again you are great for your videos
🌹🤗 gracias Maestra 🥰🙏🙏🙏 they are very beautiful love 😍 thanks
what size beads did you use for the second earring
The large focal bead is a 14X8mm simulated turquoise bead. Here is the link: www.jtv.com/product/blue-turquoise-simulant-elliptical-shaped-bead-strand-set-of-5-appx-14-15-/JLW12223?mcid=XSOjsyt
The other beads range from 2-4mm.
What am I doing wrong with my one step looper? Mine never quite forms the perfect loop like you did. 🤔
The one-step looper can be a bit tricky. It takes a bit of practice, but one thing is to make sure you leave a slight amount of room between the bead and the looper. That should give your tool enough room to finish the loop with the wire. You may have to go in and manually close it with a chain nose. That just happens sometimes. We like the fact that you don't have to create all the loops by hand, especially on larger projects!
Fantastic! Thank you!
Lovely!
thank you
Very Beautiful
Katy how do I get my necklaces to hang evenly, I hang beads evenly, but they still seem to shift to one side, what am I doing wrong ?
From Katy: Hi there! I am not sure what you are asking exactly - are you talking about a necklace or earrings? My guess is you haven’t finished off the end tightly enough - maybe there is extra wire that could’ve been pulled tighter? Happy to help if you give me more details!
Luv!
Omg so pretty
Where'd the excess wire go after using the looper? It's a bit confusing
Hi! It comes out in a small piece that you can save and use for other things. take a look at the video at this current time code: th-cam.com/video/IzkyOcMvHMo/w-d-xo.html
You will notice the wire still sticking out of the looper after the cuts it. You just pull that out and save it!
@@JewelSchool THANK YOU! Very cool tool!
Great idea I will some to nice earrings
⚘🌟 MINUTE 11:22, 🤩 BEAUTIFUL 🌟💓 EARRINGS !! 👌💯👍
One more design to add. From the info your name and have it to from side to side.
the first piece has 2 unnecessary jump rings.
Thank you
what size one step looper did you use?
Katy used the 2.25 looper. Here is the link: www.jtv.com/product/1-step-looper-pliers-creates-2-25mm-loops/JST662A?mcid=XSOjsyt
