Latest Jewellery Making Course

Silver Earrings Made With A Jig

The latest silver jewellery workshop was on Monday 31st May in the Gran Alacant area on the Costa Blanca in Spain. The course was an intermediate level lesson focusing on the use of a jig to create silver wire jewellery.

For those not familiar with the jig it is basically a metal plate perforated with holes drilled evenly through the plate. Metal pins are placed in the holes to create varying designs and patterns and then jewelllery making wire is looped around the pins to make the shape required. The advantage of using a jig, especially with earrings, is that the shape is uniform with the twists and curls in the wire nice and tight. It is much harder to create uniform loops using a pair of pliers.  The course was well attended and all the students successfully made two sets of earrings using their jigs. Photos will be put in the photo album soon.
