Viking Knit Earrings - Jewelry Tutorial 

I made the Viking earrings this evening. I added copper and ceramic beads to it and it’s cut. I wanted to send you a picture of them, however, I’m not sure how to do that through You Tube. Love your teaching style and your channel.

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it 😊

I don't think RU-vid has that capability, unfortunately. I'd love to see them!

Thank you! Viking Knit is definitely worth trying - and the advantage of these earrings is that you don't have to make a long length! 😃

Thank you Dawn!

Thank you! I can't decide my favourite - I love them all! 😃

Awww, thank you Kim!

Pamela Lawrence same answer for you, use Renaissance Wax to protect your patina, it is temporary, but you can then use a spray on laquer/gloss to seal everything in.

Hi Pamela! Check out my answer to Austin. For these earrings, I know the pictures don't show it up very well, but the wire I used is bright copper, and the hooks for the embellished bar and the drop earrings are bright copper, so you can match this in with antiqued copper - or of course use the rose gold. I have also seen entirely copper earrings with silver hooks, so it really only depends on your preference!

Gracias! Y eres bienvenido!

Thank you!

Thank you! 😃

You can clean copper w lemon juice

Hi Austin! I haven't had too many problems. Copper allergy tends to be less common than many other metal allergies. The green skin issue is purely cosmetic (it isn't a sign of any reaction or allergy) but can be unsightly. So I tend to seal my pieces and for ear hooks I've been using Protectaclear, which lasts a bit longer than renaissance wax. I just use this straight onto the copper, whether oxydised or not. When I'm selling, I also offer to switch out the findings if people would prefer plated etc. The great thing about these earrings, though, is that you could make them as mixed metals and add, say, silver wire for the coiling then silver ear hooks! 😃
