diy jewelry making & crafts.

I recently stumbled across a new hobby: trying to make earrings out of gemstones. I bought some high quality small gemstones at a low price.
I'm too old to wear them, but my goal is to gift them to my friends' family's kids or grandkids for Christmas and birthdays.

This guys' tutorials are so great! Out of all the wire-wrapping ones out there, his make it all seem so easy and exciting.

Thanks for the link. I've been making money upcycling for years, wire wrapping is cool, so is wire knit/crocheted jewelry.

wow. That is stunning, and looks expensive.
But besides the fact that the project is at an advanced level, it looks like you put tens of hours into it. Unless you have some other method like using a 3d printer, or buying already made & creating combining or something else.
How did you make it?
