Earring Making

Creating a collection of earrings is a smart way to add to your jewelry line. You can offer earrings at an accessible price point to coordinate with your other jewelry. Earrings make great add-on purchases. Assemble yours from premade earring findings or get inspired to make your own statement designs at the bench. We also offer ready-to-wear basics for resale including earring posts and endless hoop earrings.

Earring Making Techniques

If you're just learning how to make jewelry, earrings are the perfect beginner project. Try our beaded hoop earrings kit to learn wire wrapping & beading techniques. Or, if you are ready to learn how to solder, try our post earring making kit.

Fabricating Earrings at the Bench

We also sell all the supplies you need to make custom earrings from scratch using traditional metalsmithing skills. One of our favorite techniques is soldering a double notched post to the back of a charm or metal blank. This opens a world of possibilities because we have so many different charms. Or, explore a new fabrication technique by making earrings from our metal blanks or sheet.

Selling Earrings

Once you've made your earrings, it's easy to make your own earring display cards using earring punch tools. You can use your business card or cardstock that reflects your brand, so it's a great way to customize your look. Punches are available with tabs for leverback findings or without tabs for post earrings and ear wires.
