In the prior several pages we made earrings that were shaped like an
upside-down letter "V", narrow at top and wide at the bottom. In
these pages we will address a new earring design, like the ones shown at
right, that are shaped like the letter "V" in the normal orientation, wide
at top and narrow at the bottom. For this earring, the three body
wire components are exactly like the ones used to make our inverted "V"
three tier earrings. The peg patterns for making these three wire
components are shown below.
The one difference in the wire components for the earrings at right is the top wire component. This modified design requires a different top wire component. In the following web pages we show two approaches to making this top wire component. Begin making these earrings by making the three wire components shown below. Select any picture to navigate to our instructions for making that component. All three components were made on the WigJig Cyclops, Centaur or Electra. These earrings require about 18 inches of 20 gauge wire (preferably 1/2 hard) and 20 inches of 22 gauge wire (also preferably 1/2 hard). In the earrings at right 24 4mm beads and 4 6mm beads were used along with 22 head-pins and one pair of ear wire findings. |
