Measuring
Use cotton to thread around the mold for a few times and measure the length of the cotton thread. According to the measured length of cotton, clip the same length of the silver for reserved.
Heating the Silver Wire
Heat up the silver thread uniformly to soften it.
Cooling
Use cold water to cool off the silver thread and be careful about the heat.
Twisting to Make the Shape of the Earrings
The softened silver thread will be circled around the mold for several times. Then we will hammer it to make its shape firm. Now we get the circle earrings.
Placing the Anti-oxidation Solution
Take the earrings to the de oxidization solution and soak it for a few minutes.
Making the Long Earring Hook
Right now we will make the earrings’ hook. Cut off a section of silver wire and hammer it to be straight. Use a file to polish the incision to make it smooth.
Near & Joint
As the image shows, now we will fix the circle earrings with the hook.
Adding Combustion-supporting Liquid Upon the Silver
Add welding powder on the interface of the earrings and the hook. This will help welding up the two parts.
Welding It by Fire
Evenly heat up the fixed earrings and hooks. Remember to particularly heat up the welding part till the earrings and hooks are fixed together firmly.
Adjustment
Adjust the shape of the earrings.
Remove the Extra Part of the Silver Wire & Polishing to Achieve Smoothness
Trim off the superfluous part of the silver wire. Polish the incision of the silver wire till it is smooth and soft.
Polish All Details of Earrings
Use the polishing machine to polish the whole earrings.
Polish the Both Edges to Be Smooth
Particularly polish both sides of the silver wire’s incisions.
Making Long Earrings Hook
Adjust the length of the earrings and bend the earrings’ hook.
Placing the Anti-oxidation Solution Again
Take the silver earrings into the de oxidization solution to soak them for a few minutes.
Cleaning the Earrings
Use machine to polish the earrings and soak them into clean water. Dry it up and then we get the beautiful circle earrings.
