Wrap and Curl Earrings

Tammy Powley
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. You will use the following wire techniques for these earrings: wire wrap beads; wire wrapped loop; and wire coil head pin. You'll need the following:

Approximately 16 inches of 22 gauge round sterling wire
jeweler's file
2 - 6mm poppy jasper beads
2 - 8mm carnelian beads
2 sterling eye pins
Round-nosed pliers
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Nylon-nosed pliers
2 Eurowires aka lever backs
