Dazzling Dangle Hoop Earrings


Making a gorgeous pair of earrings is super quick and easy with these sterling hoop components created by the APAC Tool Company and available from John Mathieu at Jewelrythings, Inc.. With these components, all you need are a few more findings and beads.

You'll need:

2 hoop components (item no. E2096-S-T264)
2 sterling clutches (to help secure hoop to ear)
6 sterling head pins
6 - 4mm Swarovski sapphire-blue bicone crystals
Round-nosed pliers
Flat or bent-nosed pliers
Wire cutters

1. Begin by sliding one crystal onto one head pin, then use round-nosed pliers and start a wrapped loop

2. Before you finish wrapping the loop closed, slip it onto one of the loops on your hoop component. Then wrap the loop closed and trip off the head pin if necessary.


3. Repeat these steps to create two more crystal dangles on your hoop.

4. Now repeat all the steps above for your second hoop earrings.

5. Finish off by sliding your sterling clutch onto the post of the hoop.


Now dazzle your friends and neighbors by modeling your beautiful earrings!
