Two Tone Wire Wrapped Chain Earrings

Combine two colors of metals for this chain design that makes some quick earrings too. To make the earrings, you just need to create a few links and add them to ear hooks. To make this into a chain, just make more links for the length you want.

You will need the following supplies and tools:

1/2 inch Diameter wooden dowel
About 10 inches of 18-gauge round wire
About 6 inch 24-gauge round gold-filled wire
2 gold-filled ear hooks
Hard solder
Solder setup
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers
