"Today we're going to talk about the different kind of earring hooks. Earrings are one of the easiest things to make in wire making jewelry. You may want to make a whole lot of them, and you need to decide what's the most important kind of hook for you. We're going to see a couple of examples here. This is actually a store bought hook that looks very similar to hand made one, and you could actually make it by hand if you so choose. This is one I bought in bulk at my local craft store. This is an example of a homemade hook. This is using a bit of tarnish looking wire. Very simple hook and a very simple earring. This is a very beautiful silver hook that actually has a connection piece like that, so you've got a very secure earring. This is nice if you're going to sell them in a store or you have someone who wants the pure silver."
