Bling Earring Kit Review

By Tammy Powley, About.com

Wig Jig
Wig Jig has a number of jewelry making kits available, and I had a chance to try out one of its gemstone kits called the "8mm Gold Filled Bling Low Wall Bezel Earrings Kit" ($13.99). The kit includes two low wall bezel findings, two 8mm AAAAA clear or white cubic zirconia, and two post type ear wire and ear clutches. The kit is available in gold-filled or sterling. I made the gold-filled pair.

For tools to put the kit together, the instructions suggest a pair of bent-nosed pliers, which as with most jewelry making kits you'll need to supply yourself. All the instructions for this and the other kits are posted on the Wig Jig web site and includes a step-by-step how-to along with color photos.

The instructions suggest this is a 10 minute project, and I'm pretty sure it took me less time than that to make these. Since the instructions had pictures, I only needed to scan read the text, so these are a breeze to put together. New jewelry makers will probably take the whole 10 minutes, but if you are comfortable working with pliers and bending wire or metal with them, then you'll find this kit super easy to put together.
