Inverted V Ear Wires Jewelry Making Project with Pink Lampwork Beads

Since variety remains the spice of life, we are showing a new variation on the ear wire finding.  This variation is called the Inverted "V" Ear Wire Finding for the simple reason that it roughly resembles an upside down letter "V".  This is a very simple to make ear wire and is a good way to showcase unique beads.  It is shown at right with a 12x18mm teardrop shaped lampwork glass bead (item 2063 in our Internet store).  Because of the shape of this ear wire and the weight of this bead, this combination will be very unlikely to come off while being worn.  If you are seeking a little variety in the earrings you make, consider this Inverted "V" Ear Wire Finding.
