Specialized Tool/Jig for Safely Adjusting Earring Hook Loop Orientation
The person is trying to change the orientation of an earring loop and is having trouble with the wire breaking when they try to rotate it 90 degrees. This suggests that jewelry makers could really use a tool or method to make this adjustment more reliably.

This would save crafters a lot of frustration and materials by letting them make this common adjustment without damaging the components, ultimately improving their workflow efficiency when making handmade jewelry.
