Jewelry Design by WigJig!

 These earrings were made using a small five pointed star pattern.  The ear wire itself was made with 20G 1/2 hard gold-filled wire and was decorated with 22G Orchid Artistic Wire to match the wire used in the star.  (We strongly recommend against using Artistic Wire to make an ear wire as the chemicals in the wire coating are not suitable for use inside a pierced ear.)  The star itself was made with 20G Orchid Artistic Wire wrapped to hold its shape with 26G Gold Artistic Wire.  The wire wraps here add strength and decorative appeal to this piece. This combination of purple and gold was once considered royal colors by some ancient civilizations.  Today, thanks to Artistic Wire, and free jewelry making instruction by WigJig, anyone can dress like royalty.
