Pro Tips
- Use the 3mm or 4mm loop for small earring bails; use 8-10mm for larger pendant bails.
- Anneal copper or silver wire before bending to reduce spring-back and get cleaner loops.
- Flush-cut close to the loop end to avoid sharp wire tails that can scratch skin.
- Keep the cutting edge clean and dry to maintain sharpness longer.
- Use the end nipper to close crimp beads on necklace and bracelet clasps for a secure finish.
