Instructions:
Remember to double these instructions to make your matched pair of earrings.
- Begin by cutting a 10" length of 24 gauge brass colored wire.
-
Using this piece of wire, wire wrap a rose pink chalcedony briolette as seen in the video Keep neatly wrapping around the top of the briolette as seen in the photo. When you get to the point where you are happy with your wrappings, decide what is going to be the backside of your briolette and snip off the wire using flush cutters. Carefully press the wire end into the wrappings on the backside.
-
Open a 5mm antique brass jump ring and link onto it the loop at the top of your briolette and one of the loops on your antique brass oval paisley connector link. Close the jump ring back up.
-

Enjoy your pretty new earrings!

Variations
Use this same pattern to make a variety of earrings using different connector links and briolettes.
When substituting in items, pay attention to sizes and styles to make sure all your pieces will fit together.
Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
