Has anyone ever seen a tutorial for wire earrings like these? Doesn't have to be exact:

I've seen other pieces with the wire attachments and woven with the spirals but never inside a heart before.

If you don't mind telling, where did get/see them?
I would like to get a pair for my Sister.

Thanks, Julie

Those earrings are stunning.

Elizabeth, I checked out the Etsy address you posted on earrings that are similar and you hooked me onto them. I just ordered that tutorial!!!

Sorry I couldn't help you out here, DaffodilDeb. If you do find a tutorial for them, please post the info...would love to know.

Good luck with your search.

It looks to me it's the "Egyptian Coil" technique. They used basically that to make the coils but put it all together to make the heart shape. If you leanred how to make the coils (google free egyptian coil tutorials) you could prolly figure out how to make this yourself.

I bought my pair on Ebay for a couple of bucks. Amazing that they are wanting about 10 times that on Overstock. I want to make them myself, only out of better quality materials. Silvertone wire and a cheap bead doesn't do the design justice. I wrote to that seller, and she didn't have a tutorial (I offered to pay).

Still looking...

looks pretty easy to me. I love figuring things like this out. Oh by the way just saw this posting. I will see if I can figure it out this weekend and post something sometime tomorrow or Monday morning early.
