We can easily make these earrings in any one of four sizes.  You can view the four sizes of finished ear wires at right.  Size 1 at right uses a 1" diameter pattern and can be made with our 1" Super Peg or with the peg pattern shown below, far-left.  The earrings shown as size 2 at right are made with either our WigJig Spiral Maker or with a 7/8" Super Peg.  You can see the pattern for these ear wires below, center-left.  Size 3 earrings shown above right are made with a 3/4" Super Peg or with the pattern shown below, center-right.  Size 4 ear wires shown above right are made with a 5/8" Super Peg or with the pattern shown below, far-right.  To help with determining the scale of the ear wires in this picture, remember that the blue bead shown is 8mm in size or very close to 1/3 inch in diameter. 

1"	7/8"	3/4"	5/8"

The above four patterns show how to make these earrings using a jig with a round peg pattern, a jig with a square peg pattern or using our WigJig Centaur with both round and square peg patterns.  The larger patterns should be used with larger beads.  The smaller patterns should be used with smaller beads like 6mm beads.  For the 1 inch pattern, 10mm and 12mm beads in your bead dangle will work great.  For the 3/4 inch pattern, 8mm beads in your bead dangle will work great.  For the 5/8 inch pattern 6mm beads work great.  This style ear wire will also work great with our low wall bezel findings and gemstones.  The earring shown at right uses our 8mm low wall bezel finding (Item 3210) with an 8mm Medium Blue Spinel gemstone (Item 3505).  The earrings were made with our 3/4" Super Peg. 

The best thing about this ear wire pattern is that when it is made properly, the earrings really stay on well.  We think that people will really like these ear wires.  When you are selling jewelry that uses these ear wires, remember to tell people about the interchangeable beads.  That gimmick may help close the sale.
