At this point, we have the Top Wire Component connected to the 3 Loop Wire
component and we need to assemble the remainder of the earring body.
Step 21: Using a 1-1/2 inch head pin and a 4mm bead, thread the bead onto the head pin and make a bead dangle hanging from the middle loop in the 3 Loop Wire Component. Instructions for making a bead dangle can be found here. |

| Step 22: Now we need to connect the 3 Loop Wire Component to the
5 Loop Wire component using the wrapped bead link, first on one side, then
on the other. Use 22 gauge wire for making the wrapped bead link,
with 4mm beads. 1/2 hard wire is best if available.
Instructions for making this wrapped
bead link can be found here. Connecting the first wrapped bead
link will be relatively easy. Connecting the second, on the opposite
end, will require that you open the loop on that end of the 5 Loop Wire
Component with your bent chain nose pliers, then connect the loop in your
wrapped bead link and then close the loop in the 5 Loop Wire Component.
Step 23: Once the 3 Loop and 5 Loop Wire Components are connected, then with 5 head pins and 5 4mm beads, hang a bead dangle from each of the loops in the 5 Loop Wire Component, just like you did in Step 21. Step 24: Now we need to make the modified figure 8 connector using 1 1/4" of 20 gauge wire. Instructions for making this component can be found here. Once completed, open one loop in the modified figure 8 connector and connect it to the top loop in the Top Wire Component. Step 25: Open the remaining loop in the modified figure 8 connector and connect it to your commercial ear wire finding. This completes your 2 Tier Earrings. In the following web page, we will provide the pattern for these earrings using our WigJig Delphi, Olympus or Olympus-Lite jigs. |
