Save money make your own ear wires, it is very quick and easy to make. It is always a very good idea to practice with copper wire which is what I have used in the tutorial. Once you have perfected the technique move on to other types of wire

Cut 5cm of wire,then orm a loop as pictured above using round nose pliers.
Next wrap the wire around a pen or object of your choice.
Take up the round nose again, bend the wire at the tip to give it a sort of flat look, make a second wire once finished hammer both if you wish. Now you are ready to attach to attach your earwires to your bead units.
Pictured is a finished large earwire. Beware this technique is addictive. Tip: make loads of earwires and store away for future projects.
Here is one of the earrings I made using handmade wires.
