Ouch! This earwire …
Ouch! This earwire has been flattened on the curve, the part that sits in your ear. The wire should only be forged at the front, not anywhere that it goes through the ear hole. As the earring moves it will potentially cut the ear causing infection and discomfort. This video should be removed and reshot.

Well done

Well done
You don’t need to flux the whole wire just were you intend melting it.
Depending on the flux used the silve will clean up in a cold solution of Hydrochloric acid.
Even better use pool acid. It works better and is less dangerous to have in the home.
Be careful using heated acid baths (pickles)
We use a small jar of acid not heated and have a larger jar of water for rinsing right beside it. Fast effecient and safe.
Thanks for the video
