Threads of Turquoise Earrings Tutorial
Created by: Rita Hutchinson
Designer Tips - Wire wrap the crystals directly onto the ear thread chain. See Basic Jewelry-Making Technique Sheet (PDF) for detailed instruction on making wire wrapped loops.
- Use crimping pliers to tuck in the trimmed ends on the wire wraps. (It's not their traditional use, but the shape works perfectly!)
- French wire keepers are really helpful to keep earthreads in the ear.
