Cut 3" of 26g sterling silver wire. Add 5 Indicolite 3mm crystals to the middle of the wire. Use chain nose pliers and bend wire to a 90° angle on each side of the crystals. Wrap one side of the wire 3x tightly to the center bottom right of the hoop. Wrap the other wire 3x to the center bottom left of the hoop. Cut excess wire on both sides and crimp the end with your chain nose pliers.
