Out of all of my TH-cams I’ve never come across somebody that is as good as you at teaching jewelry making, With that being said I wish that the camera could get better angles sometimes in your videos. Thank you for all that you share! Your super adorable 🙏🏼
Susan, you are just THE BEST for jewelry making videos! Yours are always my favorites. And the bracelet you are wearing in this one, I would love to have a video about it to say : « I made this! ».
I have been making memory wire hoops for years and I did not think to finish the end the way you showed in the video. Thanks, Susan! I'm so excited to make more!! Do you all have a video about how to make memory wire rings?
exactly ‼️and i have watched plenty of people old and young and i gave up on EARRINGS BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY AND UNPROFESSIONAL LOOK OF IT!! you are a Lifesaver ‼️💙Now ivan resume creating Earrings that I love ❤️ THANK YOU 😊
Wow .Simply awesome Susan Thomas .I just love working with memory wire because it retains it's shape and sturdy. Thankyou so much for this video. God bless. Tkcare.
Susan, this is totally AWESOME! Thank you!! Could you maybe do a video showing how to use oval memory wire? I bought some because it looked cool, but I don't know what to do with it.
Susan, I enjoy you classes so much!!! If I'm making earrings for my 11 year old granddaughter that has allergies and we were going to try clip-ons, can I still do these styles? How do I attach them to clip on's?
Any chance you can give us an idea of the price to ask for? I make these with the memory wire and different gemstones, but always doubt how much to sell them for. It would be very appreciated. Thank you, Susan. Love your teaching videos as well as Jewel school on TV.
I had (am having) a hard time envisioning how you'd put the straight piece into the ear. Assuming you hold the large piece up toward the top of the ear, feed in the short flat piece and then hook it in the back. Is that correct? Thanks for the videos!
Diane, yes, you have it exactly correct! The straight piece, once in your ear, will hold the hoop closed, plus act as a "stopper," so it won't fall out of your ear.
Hi.i want to make a memory wire bracelet and hold beads in clusters so they don't move along the wire.how can I achieve this please? So I have a few beads fixed in position then some wire then few more fixed etc. Thanks hope u can help.
Hi Caroline! You may want to look into "bead keepers." They are little stoppers that you can put on either side of your bead stacks to keep them in place. A quick internet search for that very term, should lead you to them!
You sure can! JTV has sterling silver wire. Here is a link: www.jtv.com/product/sterling-silver-wire-kit-includes-half-hard-dead-soft-wire-in-assorted-gauges-shapes/JSWRKIT76?N=451581875?mcid=XSOjsyt We don't currently sell Gold Filled wire, but a quick internet search should get you to some reputable sites!
Hi Vicki! Memory wire, because of its hard temper, holds its shape. If you every had a slinky as a child, it's the same concept. It "remembers" where it was and bounces back. It is incredibly easy to finish-off as well. You can use round nose pliers or memory wire finishing pliers to turn the wire into small loops. It comes in different diameters according to the project you want to make, meaning a ring, bracelet, earrings or necklaces. So, be sure to check and make sure the wire your using is actually memory wire.

Hi Janita! There isn't actually a wire gauge assigned to this wire. It's just called heavy duty and is 1mm thick. If you need a wire gauge, try 20 gauge. This is the most common size for earrings because it will fit through your ear piercing without stretching it. In this video, Susan does say to use bracelet memory wire. Here is a link to a few packs of it for convenience: www.jtv.com/product/memory-wire-large-bracelet-pack-in-gold-tone-silver-tone-antique-brass-color-appx-7oz-total/JSKIT0794?mcid=XSOjsyt
Hi Ebony! Memory Wire is one of the easiest stringing materials to use. Due to its hard temper, it holds its shape. If you ever had a slinky when you were a child, then you know what we're talking about. Same concept. It's hard, so you have to use special cutters to cut it. 20 gauge wire is the best wire to use for earrings because it will fit most beads, plus it will go through your ear hole a bit easier. Unlike memory wire, it doesn't bounce back. So, depending on the type of wire you use (half-hard, dead soft), you will want to hammer it a little to work harden it, so it will hold its shape. Hope this helps!

Hi very easy to do project, thank you. Can you do a necklace from memory wire?
Yes, Susan! I have necklace memory wire but don’t know how to use it.
This was very helpful! Thx
SO DAWG ON CUTE 😍
I have quick question- can the memory wire be made in 925 sterling silver?
Can you place something after you've done all of the beads and spacers that allow them to stay put, or not easily removed?
You can use a silicon slider bead to on each side of your stack to help keep them in place.

What is the gauge of this wire?
How to make memory wire smaller hoops
Hello! Is it possible to make a multi- layered cuff bracelet with memory wire?
Yes! Just cut however many loops off you want on your bracelet.
Can you do this with sterling silver or gold filled wire? If so, what wire do I purchase?
You sure can! JTV has sterling silver wire. Here is a link: www.jtv.com/product/sterling-silver-wire-kit-includes-half-hard-dead-soft-wire-in-assorted-gauges-shapes/JSWRKIT76?N=451581875?mcid=XSOjsyt
We don't currently sell Gold Filled wire, but a quick internet search should get you to some reputable sites!

Can the memory wire hoops be made into smaller hoops?
Try using ring memory wire for smaller hoops! The smaller the diameter of memory wire, the smaller the hoop.

Memory wire rings
I got about 6 tiny coils of memory wire meant to be for rings and haven't tried using them!! I think they came free with a MW order.
