Here is a tip to work harden your earring posts. Someone reached out to me via email and I took a moment to create a video. Take a pair of pliers, needle nose are nice because you can see what’s going on as you grab the base of your ear post, but flat will work too. You are going to twist the ear post away from you and then grab it a bit lower and twist toward you. Our goal is not a full rotation but this action will harden up the posts just enough. Be mindful not to mar your metal. I had always learned to twist in one direction but Emily of
@marquisjewelryacademy introduced me to the additional twist, I am always learning!
