The ultimate Workspace earring jig! This little guy is all you need for forming earring hooks, hoops and jump rings, we've worked it all out so you don't have to.
It features 4 wooden posts measuring 15mm, 12mm and 10mm and 3 pre-drilled holes for you to put your own forming pins in if you wish to.
The layout with the 3 forming pins allows you to create at least 5 different types of earring hook.
We recommend using 2mm brass wire, or something similar that is smooth and tough. The pins only need to be pushed in, and you can remove them should you need to, although removing and replacing them too often may result in the fit becoming a little looser.
You can also glue them in if you find they are exactly where you need them to be!
These earring jigs are set up to give you a great range of options, but of course you can always modify them to suit your needs - or draw on the shapes you want to follow, make marks where bends need to be put etc. Hopefully this gets you on the way to becoming a tool modifyer!
The largest post and the 12mm post are used for creating the hoop earring - begin by forming the wire around the 12 mm post, then enlarge and smooth the form around the 15mm post. If you find the hoop is still a little big / loose, wrap it around the 12 mm post again, and it should sit as you need it to.
You can also use these to form jump rings and necklace hook catches. Multiple uses for findings forming!
