All Black and White Earrings Tutorial

Created by: Rita Hutchinson

Designer Tips
Cut chain to a length of 8 links. Attach one end to earwire for ease in handling.
Create dangles with crystal beads and round metal beads, and wire wrap directly to the chain. Add 12 dangles to chain. New to jewelry-making? For step-by-step instructions on making wire-wrapped loops, and most secure way to open and close jump rings, see Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF).
Little-known trick: Crimp Pliers are handy for tucking in trimmed ends of wire when making wire-wrapped loops.
Suspend earring to determine correct placement of drop so it hangs forward. Attach with jump ring.
