Double Spirals Jewelry Wire & Beads Earrings Jewelry Making Project -- Page 12

Earrings Design Alternatives (Continued):   

 Our final earring alternative is the design shown at right. In this alternative we use commercial chain to connect the ear wire finding to the double spiral wire component.  Use a segment of chain about 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" long with an odd number of links.  Connect the middle link in the chain to your ear wire finding by opening the loop in the ear wire finding, making the connection, then closing the loop.  Connect the end links of the chain to the double spiral wire component using jump rings.  Finish the earrings by adding bead dangles to the bottom of the double spiral wire component as we described earlier. 

Please visit the following links for our instructions on how to perform that jewelry making skill:

• Opening and closing loops
• Making a bead dangle using a head pin and beads
• Making open jump ring findings using step jaw pliers
