I've been making this style for a long time and, speaking from experience, if you leave that front square open, customers will accidentally pull it open (like she mentions @9:13 ) and lose the pendant. This happens just with taking them on and off. So I started wrapping the top of the square around the earwire part to close it. Also it's important to always work harden your wire before AND as you go along. Otherwise it'll still be too soft and warp over time as customers take them on and off.
I absolutely love this design! But, where can I find the square bale shaping pliers like the ones you are using in the video? The link you have in the description does not go to that. Thanks!
Love watching you and your artistic talent. It would be great if you could change your tabletop color to something darker so we ca see the wire and what you are doing clearly. Thank you for teaching us!
Not specifically, but these are simple stretch bracelets stacked up with a tassel attached to one of them!

Another great video Susan!! Kind of unrelated question but I really liked your bracelets in this one, but the hardest thing for me is figuring out what beads and stones to pair together and how to design a stack, I just dont know where to begin 🤷♀️
Stacks are so unique to each person that it's hard to give specific advice for how to pair beads and stones because a lot of it is based simply on personal taste. One way to look at it is to think about your stack like an outfit. Do the colors complement or distract from one another? If I were you, I would start out with your main bead or stone and add from there. Good luck!

Hi Susan!! I have a quick question about soldering jump rings on chain. Do you think it’s necessary to always solder jump rings that we use to connect charms and lobster clasps on a chain. I find it a bit overwhelming to do soldering. Do you think I can skip it? BTW, I’ve a small Etsy shop where I sell my handmade jewelry! I would greatly appreciate your reply, Thanks!
@@tharmikasiva5168 Lots of people choose to use open connectors and not solder them. If the metal is soft and pliable, I would recommend soldering so it doesn't come apart, but stiff, strong, jump rings should be just fine - it's totally up to you!
@@JewelSchool Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your reply, I choose to use sturdy open jump ring and will not solder. Thank you so much again :)
I Maria! This plier sold out very quick so we don't have it in stock anymore. If you do a quick internet search for "Square Mandrel Pliers - Jumbo" you should find what you need!
These are super cute but I have to agree with everyone else about the pliers. Cannot find these on your site or anywhere else. Can you direct us somewhere? Thanks!
@@JewelSchool thanks but i want the ones in the video. The ones you link are $67 and they are one square size! Seriously, this is kind of bait and switch. This isn't the first time you've had a video that the links were to more expensive items and not the ones you show in the video. Shame.
Hi Byby! These are around 6-7mm large hole pearls. You can use a pearl that's a bit bigger if you'd like! Here is a link to the ones like were used in the video: www.jtv.com/product/cultured-freshwater-pearl-appx-6-7mm-potato-shape-bead-strand-appx-15-16-/JLW11116A?mcid=XSOjsyt
Love the design of them however, when you work on a white background with pearls and silver, it’s very hard to see the work when you lay it out flat. Thank you for sharing.
You do such a fabulous job of everything you do. They’re really interesting to look at. i’m not very impressed with the bail shaping tool because it seemed like you had to redo everything anyway.

I totally agree with you! Plus the fact that hair may get tangled and pull the earrings open. Other than that the design is beautiful.
Love that square bail shaping pliers.. need to buy one.. totally loved this design Susan ❤❤
LOVE THEM!!!❤
Ugh now I have to get another tool😂 these are beautiful.
These are adorable! Question: Can you show an “up close” picture of the earrings when finished? Thanks!❤
I love the wire design and pearls very beautiful. Thank You ! Inspireing me Already..
It is Twisted Around, Basic Straight Part. Correct ? 😷 ;-)
I loved earrings tools! I never seen them before.
With the white background I couldn't see how you made them, Thanks!
I absolutely love this design! But, where can I find the square bale shaping pliers like the ones you are using in the video? The link you have in the description does not go to that. Thanks!
I'm wondering the same thing. Went to a couple of different sites, to no avail. Is it some sort of attachment?
The pliers we have linked will do the trick! The pliers in the video are currently out of stock, but these are a great alternative.
Love watching you and your artistic talent. It would be great if you could change your tabletop color to something darker so we ca see the wire and what you are doing clearly. Thank you for teaching us!
Great suggestion! Watch some of our newer videos. We think you will like the change!
Is there a video on how to make your left hand braclet??

The link for the square bail shaping pliers doesn't go to those pliers. Are they Beadalon? I'm trying to find them on Amazon.
The linked Wubbers pliers will work similarly!
@@JewelSchool not for almost $70 they won't
Love this, totally making this for my mom😍😍

It was a little hard to follow with the light colored background

We're currently out of stock of the pliers in the video, but the linked square pliers will work in the same way!
