Add a crystal
Wire Wrapped Loop Tammy Powley
Now, cut about 3 inches of 22 gauge round sterling wire, and use a jeweler's file to file the ends of the wire. Using round nosed pliers, make a wrapped loop on one end, but before closing the loop, add on one of the charms.

Slide a 4mm clear crystal onto the wire, and finish the other end with another wrapped loop.

Use wire cutters to trim off any excess wire, and again, file any area of wire that may cut or poke the wearer.

Repeat this for the other charm.
