This unique ear cuff (no piercing required) looks like a pointed ear when worn. There is a wire in the back that goes around the back of your ear, similar to how glasses fit your head.
I am focusing more on the general technique of how to make them than how to make this specific pair. Feel free to riff on my instructions here to make pieces for your own personal use or to sell.
You can create your own template by tracing your ear and then drawing your template on paper before "tracing" it with the wire. If you want two perfectly symmetrical ears, you'll need to design it on paper first. After you have your basic ear template, draw your desired shape so that you can use it as your guide. Don't forget the curls (or some other design) at the wire ends or the wire will scratch your face and behind your ear.

I personally like a more organic approach and enjoy making "siblings" rather than "twins". Neither approach is better than the other, it's a matter of taste.
Skill level: Advanced beginner-intermediate. Project will take 1-6 hours, depending on your comfort level with making wire jewelry and the complexity of your final cuff. Measurements do not need to be exact for this project. This set took me about 4 hours from start to finish, including designing the interior elements.
