Designer Tips

• Using 26-gauge wire, make a wrapped-wire loop at the top of the briolette. For step-by-step instructions, see "How to Wire-Wrap a Briolette".
• Squeeze hoop to open, slide the wire-wrapped briolette onto it, and close the hoop.
• Slide the hoop onto a kidney ear wire, and use round-nose pliers to gently crimp the loop of the kidney wire. (Click into the kidney wire's product details for an illustration.)
• Add a crystal bicone, a silver rondelle bead, and another bicone to the ear wire.
• Repeat for other earrings.
