Trial and error... and then success! Spiral Loop Chandelier Earwires

Following my Spiral Loop Earwires, I decided I wanted to develop that design further. Here are my Spiral Loop Chandelier Earwires just waiting for some gemstone dangles. I will post pictures later when I have added some beads.


These earwires were the product of many attempts made out of silver plated wire. I am so glad I tried the design out on the cheaper wire first because, as you can see from the picture below, it took quite a while to get the design just right!


Throughout my trials and errors, I realised that tools marks are a real issue with this design as shown on my little chandelier pendant below. This will need more work with my sanding pads and back in the tumbler again.

    So interesting to watch your progression of designs on the same theme. I'd say you got these just right!

    Very cool Kristin! And you posted this at just the right time for me too....going through some trial and error myself.

    Love the design. The necklace is very beautiful.

    Trial and error and retrial and error are the essence of the creative journey - it's the stick-with-it-ness that makes the artist.
