Wires orbit earrings

I am making wire orbit earrings with an 18Guage wire that forms the
design and then is the earwire. Is there a way to draw down the
earwire to make it thinner. I tried pulling through the draw plate,
but then have to back the earring out and it gets stuck and also is
time consuming for production. Are there any tricks I could use? Thanks

i would take a slightly thicker piece of wire get the ear wire part
close to the desired thickness, then cast the wire. then you would
have prepped wire to work with everytime you made the earrings
