Gypsy Wire and Bead Earrings

Loops are a very important elements in most wire designs. With these Gypsy Wire and Bead Earrings, you can dangle beads from five of the loops for a fun gypsy look. This design can either be done using a jig or by hand using round nosed pliers.

You’ll need the following tools and supplies:

12 inches of 18 or 20-gauge round wire
4 inches of chain
2 ear hooks
10 head pins
Your choice of beads
Ruler
Wire cutters
Jeweler’s files
Round-nosed pliers
Nylon-nosed pliers
Chain-nosed pliers

I'm using copper chain and gold-tone findings in this tutorial, but you could use any type of metals, mixed or matched.
