You made an earring, how to hang it to an earlobe? You need silver (or gold) wire 1mm thick.
First you make a circle with the help of a mandrel of siutable measure, then you make a small ring at one end of the circle, and finally you clamp the ring in a round nose pliers, the small ring touches the base of the cone of the pliers. and turn it contrarywise to open the circle till the right shape is given to the wire. The hook acquires a gentle curve.
