I’ve been experimenting with different wires lately and wonder why I’ve never played with square or half round before!
They create a unique rich effect. I used half round on the obsidian earrings with the flat side showing.
The hematite earrings were a mistake. I had a different plan in mind but simply tossing a couple of rings of heavy square wire above the beads added a cool orbital feel.

Nice use of the shapes! I tend to use it more for the traditional reasons (wrapping or stronger links), but I can appreciate creativity and beautiful design!
Really cool effects, Val! The non-round wires create a totally different and interesting look. Thank you for sharing your experiments with us! 🙂
I really like the look of the different shaped wire, Val. I also love the curves and curls you created on a couple of those earrings.
Love the way you created these shapes with the wire!
Thank you all for your kind words. 🙂
What lovely earrings, Val! LOve the looks you achieved with the non-round wire – like silver ribbons.
What a fabulous effect! I would have never thought to use wire this way. Thanks for sharing.
