Wire Earring Projects

Wire is so versatile, and it only takes a little wire to create a pair of beautiful earrings. Pictured below are my "Left Over Earrings."


10/11/02 - Wrap & Curl Earrings
I combined a number of jewelry techniques to create these earrings, which make a matching set when combined with my Heart Throb Necklace and Flower & Bead Bracelet projects.

03/22/02 - Hoopla Over Hoops
This variation on the simple hoop earring can help you create an endless variety of looks depending on the beads you use.

03/30/02 - Flower Connection Earrings
Call it whatever you like, but it is a versatile piece that can be combined with other wire pieces and beads to create numerous designs.

Blast from the Past
What's old is new again with these retro crysal, bead, and wire earrings.

Medieval Earrings
After making these earrings, they reminded me of the large, steeple style hats worn by women during the Medieval period - thus the title of these earrings.

Northanger Abbey Earrings
Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey has a spooky or gothic twist to the plot. So, when I witnessed how these Alexanderite Czech beads eerily turned from pale purple to icy blue under white light, I thought these would be perfect to use in these earrings.

Persuasion Earrings
I tried to create earrings that would be appropriate for an older heroine to wear such as Anne Elliot in Jane Austen's book Persuasion. That is why I selected jet crystal beads to accent the sterling wire.

Sense & Sensibility Earrings
I’ve created two earring designs with similar characteristics: One for the head and one for the heart.

Emma Earrings
The I can picture Emma, of Jane Austens' book by the same name, wearing these silver and crystal earrings over afternoon tea.

Czech Flower Earrings
Make some cute little flower earrings using beads and wire and match the necklace project I posted a little while back.

Princess Earrings
These earrings look like a princess would wear them. I use hematite and crystal beads along with sterling wire.

Celtic Wire Earrings
An elegant pair of earrings are easy to make by combining this Celtic wire design, a few findings, and some beads.
