Studs and fusing

I've mastered making stud ear wires!  They can be worn alone or have dangles - long or short attached.  One of the benefit of the studs is that you don't have a long ear wire hanging down behind your ear.  One of my customers didn't like the look of the long ear wire, so I tried to find something to accommodate her.

I also finally got the nerve to try fusing Argentium Silver wire.  With copper, brass, and sterling silver, you need to use solder to join the ends in a ring (a ring of wire).  With fine silver and Argentium silver you don't need the solder, just heat, the ends will fuse, and you will have a seamless and strong ring!
