Description
Spring approaches … I continue to extend my stay with the Lady of the Woods. My elf friends have missed me as much as I have them. The magical woods of LothLorien never cease to fulfill my heart and renew my soul. And each day is spent forging adornments inspired by this eternal land … and our fates are forever, Entwined.This pair of earrings is made out of 16 gauge brass wires, purely handformed, hammered and augmented by fire, then sanded and polished to bring out its character. Other elements include antique brass findings and a pair of beautiful Picasso Jaspers.
*the earrings are approx 5 inches in length (including earwires)
*the earwires are 18 gauge brass wires handformed and also augmented by fire
*the brass wires have been augmented to look ancient, and is thus irregular in color. Becos tastes may vary, take this into consideration when deciding whether to purchase this item.

hahaha!! i didn't know it until last week too. i was wondering how these wire wrapping jewelry artists make their earrings so perfectly identical even with the littlest of wires and i'm suffering here trying to make my 16 gauge earrings identical!! then i found out that people actually use a jig!! it's a little board (metal or plastic) with holes like grids where you can insert little round pegs of different sizes and wind your wires round them. by placing the pegs in different formations, you get different wired patterns. here's a link to the Wig Jig i bought [link]
